More than 1 million tonnes of CO2 from the North Sea Sleipner Field has been stored in the Utsira Formation since 1996 and CO2 injection is also taking place in connection to the Snøhvit Field in the Barents Sea. Subsurface and production data from Sleipner West has been made available to research communities worldwide, to fast-track deployment of CCS technology on a global scale. Data Share 

Presently, the Longship CCS project is being developed as a full-scale capture-transport and storage project where CO2 from Norcem’s cement plant in Breivik is being shipped to a terminal in Øygarden and then piped to the Northern Lights storage site south of the Troll Field. The project is being developed as a part state-funded industry collaboration, with innovative contributions from research communities in Norway and internationally. UiO Geoscience department supported by UiO:Energy are valued contributors.
