Norway aims to capture and store carbon dioxide underground from oil and gas production to reduce emissions, but some fear the technology's safety and effectiveness.
Norway has big plans to pump waste carbon from oil and gas operations and heavy industry under the seabed of the North Sea to be stored safely underground. It believes this method will be key to decarbonizing its fossil fuel activities in the coming years and supporting a green transition. However, some fear that this process cannot be done safely without risk to the environment.
The government acknowledged that ambitious CCS projects, such as this, are extremely expensive, particularly as Longship is “the first of its kind”. It hopes that the experience will help reduce the cost of similar future projects. Further, it believes that using CCS could make it significantly cheaper to achieve climate goals.
