Norway launches first biogas-based CO2 storage project beneath seabed
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that a new project in Norway has begun permanently storing biogenic carbon dioxide captured from a wastewater biogas facility beneath the seabed, marking what is being described as a world-first initiative.
The project, led by HoopCO2, Inherit Carbon Solutions and Northern Lights JV, started operations on March 23, according to the report.
Carbon dioxide is captured at the Veas wastewater treatment plant in Slemmestad, which serves over 800,000 residents in the Oslo region. The CO2 is produced naturally during the breakdown of organic waste in the biogas process and is captured and liquefied on site, the report added.
It is then transported by tanker to a receiving terminal in Øygarden, near Bergen, before being sent through a pipeline for storage about 2,600 meters below the seabed. Northern Lights has been offering offshore carbon storage services since August 2025.
