Equinor and Fluxys study CO₂ pipeline project
Project would pump CO₂ from multiple emitters in northwest Europe to storage sites under Norwegian continental shelf
Norwegian energy company Equinor and Belgian gas grid operator Fluxys are studying the feasibility of laying a 1,000 mile (1,600km) pipeline to pump 20-40mn t/yr of CO₂ from multiple emitters in northwest Europe to permanent storage facilities under the Norwegian continental shelf. An investment decision on the project is expected in 2025, with commissioning taking place potentially before the end of the decade. The pipeline—access to which would be open to multiple emitters—would run from an onshore CO₂ hub operated by Fluxys at the Belgian port of Zeebrugge. 20-40mn t/yr – Potential CO₂ capacity of pipeline Liquefied CO₂ could be shipped in from neighbouring hubs connected to the Z
