Name of the Project
Longship carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.

Location
Norway.

Project Owner/s
Norwegian government.

Project Description
Longship is one of the first industrial CCS projects to develop an open access infrastructure, with the intent and the capacity to store significant volumes of carbon dioxide from across the European continent.

The Norwegian government proposes to first implement carbon capture at Norcem’s cement factory, in Brevik. Government also intends to fund Fortum Oslo Varme’s waste incineration facility, in Oslo, providing that the project secures sufficient private funding.

Longship also comprises funding for the Northern Lights transport and CCS project, a joint venture project between Equinor, Shell and Total. Northern Lights will be the first of its kind. The project will provide open and available infrastructure enabling transport of carbon dioxide from industrial capture sites to a terminal, in Øygarden, for intermediate storage before being transported by pipeline for permanent storage in a reservoir 2 600 m under the seabed.

Potential Job Creation
