The first phase of the project, which will capture, transport and store carbon dioxide in the Northern North Sea, will be completed in 2024

The government proposes to initially implement the carbon capture technology at Norcem’s cement factory in Brevik

The project will see the development of carbon capture facilities at a cement factory and a waste-to-energy plant and the storage of CO2 below the seabed in the North Sea

The first phase of the project will see the capture of 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year and its permanent storage 2,500 metres below the seabed in the North Sea
