How much CO2 can Norway Store a year?

Phase 1 of Norway’s first carbon capture and storage project, which started operations in September 2024, can store 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually, equal to the emissions of about 750,000 cars annually.

How much storage does the Northern Lights CCS project have?

The Northern Lights CCS project off the coast of Norway has enough storage for the equivalent of 750,000 car emissions every year in the first phase. Equinor’s Smeaheia storage site, located to the south of Northern Lights, has the potential to increase storage capacity many times over.
