Carbon Capture and Storage
Carbon capture and storage (“CCS”) is a proven and safe method of capturing and permanently storing CO₂ underground, thereby reducing emissions in the atmosphere.
CCS is fully proven and delivers real and immediate climate impact at large-scale today.
What is the Norne Carbon Storage Hub?
Norne is comprised of CO2 reception facilities located in Denmark that are able to receive both domestic and international CO2, and pipelines designed for transporting the CO2 to storage facilities which utilize existing, natural geologic storage structures in the Danish underground. Designed to be a large scale, economical, and safe CO2 reception and transportation network, Norne provides CO2 emitting companies the opportunity to access an affordable and safe pathway to decrease their CO2 emissions. This will help Denmark and other countries achieve 2030 and 2050 climate goals. Norne has been designated a European Union Project of Common Interest, a priority infrastructure project with significant cross-border impacts.
Norne aims to begin receiving its customers’ CO2 starting in the early 2030’s. The CO2 will be transported from the emitter by pipeline or ship to Norne where it will be transported to onshore or near-shore natural underground storage structures. Norne is designed for large volumes of CO2 and has the ambition to receive and transport over 15 million tons per year. This is equivalent to over a quarter of Denmark’s yearly CO2 emissions.
