Norway • The Longship Project: CCS to decarbonise heavy industries
In 1996, Statoil, the Norwegian state-owned oil company, launched the first commercial carbon capture and storage (CCS) project to decarbonise the natural gas it produces. By 2015, 15.5 MtCO2 had been stored underground. As early as 2014, Norway developed a strategy for CCS aimed at promoting the use of CCS technologies.
