For 30 years Equinor has safely stored CO2. Earlier this year we announced and increased our ambition for CO2 transport and storage capacity to 30–50 million tonnes annually in 2035. And last week we reached quite some milestones! First, we signed an agreement with French GRTgaz for the development of a CO2 transport system from industrial clusters in France into the planned CO2 Highway Europe CO2 pipeline project. To safely store emissions underground, we need more storage capacity available. Last week we were also awarded both the Albondigas and the Kinno CO2 licenses as operator in the North Sea. And finally, we also secured our first exploration license for CO2 storage in Denmark as operator, together with strong partners Ørsted and Nordsøfonden. These are all important contributions in our work to bring forward new future CO2 storages and industrial solutions that support the large-scale decarbonisation of industry in Europe. Congratulations and thank you for great work towards these milestones - Grete Tveit, Torbjørg Heskestad, and their teams. Photo: Equinor/Ole Jørgen Bratland
Equinor's expertise in subsea technology is an important contributor to safe and cost-effective storage solutions, we see great opportunities to make this more affordable than today's subsea solutions
Equinor's recent achievements in expanding CO2 transport and storage capacities demonstrate commendable leadership in advancing sustainable industrial solutions. Their proactive approach to developing CO2 storage infrastructure across Europe, alongside strategic partnerships, marks significant progress towards large-scale decarbonization goals. These efforts underscore Equinor's commitment to environmental stewardship and innovative energy solutions for a greener future.
It is a testament to your leadership in sustainable energy solutions. Impressive progress done Anders. 👏👏
30 years might be a stretch. Statoil flared a massive amount of natural gas in the Bakken of North Dakota...glad to see priorities are improving.
Equinor has always been ahead of the rest when it comes to forward thinking!
Congrats; this are good progress and good examples of CO2 storage solutions. 🤞; for similar solutions in the #NLOffshore.
Equinor has been a CCS trailblazer for a long time - kudos to all your efforts: past, present and future!
Fantastic 😊 Congratulations to Equinor and everyone involved in this project Wish you success

3moCongratulations Anders to you and your team for these important storage milestones. We are very much looking forward to get fully operatioonal in the first half of next year with our joint project in Brevik - to allow the first net zero carbon captured cement in the world.
