Report from CCUS Norway: Connecting the Dots between CO2 Supply and Storage
Norway knows where its CO2 comes from and where it can be stored. But how do we connect the dots? A new report from CCUS Norway dives into the challenge of transporting CO2 from scattered, small industrial sources to permanent storage sites. CCUS Norway, with support from CLIMIT, has mapped these challenges together with partners […]
TotalEnergies, Mitsui and Nordsøfonden pick up CO2 storage exploration permit in North Sea
The Danish Energy Agency has granted its eighth permit for the exploration and possible storage of CO2 in Denmark to a consortium consisting of TotalEnergies, Mitsui and Nordsøfonden. The permit covers the coastal Inez area, located around 50 kilometres offshore from Thyborøn, and allows the consortium to carry out exploration activities to determine whether the […]
Flue2Chem recognised as leading Net-Zero project
Flue2Chem has been named the UK National Winner of the 2025 Net-Zero Industries Award, announced at COP30 in Brazil, for its work demonstrating the feasibility of a circular carbon supply chain.

Global Carbon Capture: How’s it going?
At the 2025 World Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (WCCUS) Conference, Professor Philip Ringrose (NTNU/NTVA) shared an honest assessment of the global carbon capture effort — and the verdict was cautiously optimistic. Ringrose noted that global emissions may finally begin to decline in 2026, with China’s clean-energy expansion marking a turning point. While natural systems […]
Northern Lights Field Trip
The Northern Lights project is developing an open and flexible infrastructure to transport CO2 from capture sites by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, before being transported by pipeline for safe and permanent storage in a reservoir 2,600 metres under the seabed. The project is widely discussed within the CCUS […]
TGS and Equinor collaborate to drive digital transformation in CCS operations
TGS has entered a close collaboration with Equinor, advancing the digitalisation of carbon capture and storage operations. This agreement strengthens TGS’ ongoing cooperation with Equinor by integrating cutting-edge technology to optimise field operations. Northern Lights will integrate TGS’ Prediktor Data Gateway into its digital system to enhance management of the full CO2 value chain, from the […]
