Dunkirk is an industrial hub
Equinor agrees project to tap Dunkirk emissions
State-backed energy firm agrees with French TSO GRTgaz to develop links into Norwegian CO₂ storage
Norwegian energy company Equinor and French gas transmission operator GRTgaz have signed a project development agreement aimed at creating a transport system capable of taking CO₂ captured from industrial emitters in northern France to permanent storage in Norway. The joint project envisages GRTgaz developing a 30km onshore pipeline network and compressor station in the Dunkirk industrial region, sending CO₂ into the offshore pipeline connecting to CO₂ Highway Europe—a planned 1,000km line linking the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium to storage sites off Norway. Feasibility studies are under way, with the aim of launching basic engineering studies at the end of 2024 and commissioning in 2029. Th
