LNG

Equinor of Norway, the main supplier of pipeline natural gas to Europe and an LNG exporter, has been awarded two more licences for carbon-dioxide storage facilities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

Norway, Western Europe’s biggest supplier of pipeline natural gas in competition to LNG, approved the go-ahead for the Northern Lights project, enabling the capture and sequestration of carbon-dioxide 2,600 metres below the seabed in geological strata to hand-off criticism of the fossil fuel industry.
