US EditionNorway launches full-scale industrial carbon capture project with billions in subsidies
NORWAY, JUN 17 – Norway's Longship project aims to store 400,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from industry with $3.4 billion investment to support climate targets and scale carbon capture technology.
- Norway launched the Longship project on June 17, 2025, to capture and store CO2 from a cement plant in Brevik and other sources, transporting it to a terminal near Bergen for subsea storage.
- The launch followed significant state funding of 22 billion kroner toward a total 34 billion kroner investment over ten years, aiming to reduce industrial emissions in line with climate goals.
- The Brevik facility will capture 400,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, with planned injection into a saline aquifer 2.6 km below the seabed starting in August, and future capture expected from a waste plant near Oslo.
- Norwegian Energy Minister Terje Aasland called it a "technological breakthrough," while Swiss Environment Minister Albert Rosti highlighted carbon storage as crucial for Switzerland's net zero transition under a new bilateral agreement.
- Longship represents a key achievement in Europe's efforts to reduce industrial emissions, proving the viability of CO2 storage and facilitating cross-border carbon trading between Norway and Switzerland within an established framework.

ClimeFi Structures First ITMO CDR Transfer Between Switzerland & Norway - CleanTechnica
A cross-border carbon removal transaction between Norway and Switzerland has been completed under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, marking a first-of-its-kind implementation in the durable carbon removal (CDR) market. The deal involves the transfer of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) from Inherit Carbon Solutions in Norway with support of ...

In Norway, carbon dioxide is now being intercepted at a cement plant for the first time, transported by ship and spent in the sea. A model also for Germany?
In Norway, a carbon dioxide capture and storage plant (CO2) has been opened on an industrial scale in the cement industry. According to Heidelberg Materials, it is the first of its kind in the world.
Photosynthetic living material uses bacteria to capture CO₂ in two different ways
Researchers are developing a living material that actively extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria grow inside it, forming biomass and solid minerals and thus binding CO2 in two different manners.
Norway launched a carbon capture and storage project (CCS), a technology considered important to reduce global warming and trying to find a viable economic model, AFP related to Agerpres.
