K Line to operate unique wind-assisted LCO2 carriers for Northern Lights

“K Line has deep experience in liquefied gas transport and a strong safety and environmental track record”, said Northern Lights managing director Børre Jacobsen. 

CO2 transport is a key component to connect industrial emitters in Europe to suitable and safe CO2 storage sites such as the one operated by Northern Lights in the North Sea. Northern Lights said its ship-based solution “provides flexibility to reach emitters across Europe”.  

Northern Lights is developing an open and flexible infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, before being transported by pipeline for permanent storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m under the seabed. Operations are scheduled to start in 2024. The facilities are under construction and will enable Northern Lights to offer a safe and reliable shipping and storage service to industrial emitters from across Europe.

The Northern Lights JV partners are Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies.
