The Milestone of Milestones in Longship
The very first CO2 volumes from the Longship project have now been injected into the Aurora reservoir, 2600 meters beneath the seabed in the North Sea.
On 17 June, Longship was formally put into operation. The occasion was marked through an international conference in Oslo and the opening of the CO2 capture plant in Brevik. This signalled that the world’s first complete CCS value chain is now operational.
CO2 is safely stored
Today Northern Lights reports the first volumes in the permanent storage site beneath the North Sea seabed. – (…) We now injected and stored the very first CO2 safely in the reservoir. Our ships, facilities and wells are now in operation, says Tim Heijn, Managing Director of Northern Lights.
Gassnova follows up Longship on behalf of the Norwegian state. This includes monitoring progress, risks and milestones with the industry partners in the project. – Today’s event in the North Sea must be called the milestone of milestones in Longship. It is an important recognition of the industry partners’ efforts throughout all phases of this project. Gassnova congratulates Northern Lights, Heidelberg Materials and Hafslund Celsio on what is a decisive success factor for Longship, says Thomas Skadal, CEO of Gassnova.
