More Affordable Monitoring of Offshore CO₂ StorageClimit

One of Norway’s Most Important Industrial Climate InitiativesOn Tuesday 17 June 2025, the largest climate initiative in the nation’s industrial history was inaugurated. Longship is Norway’s full-scale venture into the capture, transport, and storage of CO_₂ (CCS).

Minister of Energy Terje Aasland will officially open the Longship CCS project at the Oslo Opera House. Lessons learned from Longship show that significant cost savings are possible in future carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects.

Gassnova provides strategic and technical advice to our owner, the Ministry of Energy, and manages the state’s interests in CO₂ management.

In 2025 Gassnova will focus on:

CLIMIT&TCM&Longship Gassnova will act as a technical and strategic advisor to the Ministry on carbon capture and storage as a climate change mitigation measure, contributing to the effective exchange of expertise and learning. As part of its work, Gassnova will monitor technology and market trends related to CO₂ capture.

Mapping Identifying opportunities to reduce CO₂ emissions in industry, with a particular focus on industrial clusters. The work should be seen in the context of the CO₂ management tools.

The public policy system Contribute to the study of policy instruments for CO₂ management, including further work on new instruments and measures for CO₂ capture.

Industrial clusters Identifying opportunities to reduce CO₂ emissions in industry, with a particular focus on industrial clusters.
