Phase One and Progress
The first phase of the Northern Lights project, which started from the Øygarden terminal near Bergen, successfully transported and stored the first amounts of CO2 in 2025. With the final investment decision for the second phase expected in March 2025, this project is now entering its next development stage. According to Jan Narvestad, CEO of Worley Rosenberg, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology will play a critical role in achieving global climate goals.
Increasing CO2 storage capacity is particularly important as many industries face serious challenges in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This project is seen as a solution to mitigate the effects of climate change and aims to support sustainable energy transfer by providing the necessary infrastructure.
