In Norway, carbon-based gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) are often associated with pollution and climate change. But what if these gases could be turned into something useful instead – like clean-burning fuel? This is what NIBIO researchers have been working on. The goal of the collaboration has been to develop […]
In Norway, the first CO₂ volumes have now been transported through the 100-kilometer pipeline and injected into the Aurora reservoir 2,600 meters below the seabed of the Norwegian North Sea. Northern Lights will transport and store CO₂ from Norway during the remainder of 2025 with CO2 volumes from Denmark and the Netherlands expected to be added […]
In Norway, amid increasing pressure on shipping to achieve the IMO 2050 decarbonization targets, the Responsible Shipping Initiative (RSI) and DNV have completed a new study: “Decarbonization of the short sea dry bulk fleet”, co-funded by the Swedish Transport Administration.
