“Langskip” is a project within carbon capture and storage (CCS). This technology is highlighted as important for reaching the climate targets in the Paris Agreement by, among others, the IPCC and IEA. “Langskip” consists of two capture facilities and a storage site for the greenhouse gas CO₂. The one capture plant will be built at HeidelbergCement’s factory in Brevik. Here, 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ will be captured annually. The second capture facility will be built at the recycling facility at Klemetsrud in Oslo. The facility is owned by Oslo Municipality, Hafslund Eco, Infranode and HitecVision. Here, too, around 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ will be captured annually. The storage project is called “Northern Lights” and is owned by Equinor, Total and Shell. From a terminal in Øygarden, CO₂ will be pumped via a pipeline to a well and permanently stored 2,600 meters below the seabed. The cost of all three projects was estimated to be NOK 25.1 billion over ten years. Since then, cost increases have been announced both in Brevik and at Klemetsrud. According to the plan, the central government will contribute NOK 16.8 billion.
