Northern Lights—a JV from Shell, Equinor, and TotalEnergies—has begun injecting CO2 from a Norwegian cement plant into offshore storage sites. Phase 1 can hold 1.5M metric tons annually, and a second phase planned for 2028 would more than 3X capacity.
The big picture: Carbon capture and storage still tackles only a sliver of global emissions, but the IEA says projects like this signal “renewed momentum.”
