Northern Lights JV DA (Equinor, Shell, TotalEnergies) · Øygarden · NO · Carbon capture and fuels · decarbonisation
Northern Lights is Northern Lights JV DA (Equinor, Shell, TotalEnergies)'s carbon capture and storage project at Øygarden, Norway.
Why it matters
It is running.
- Northern Lights started operating on 25 August 2025. as of 2025-08-25
- It is at Øygarden, Norway. as of 2026-08-28
- It uses CO2 transport and storage. as of 2026-08-28
- No committed public money is on file for it. as of 2026-08-28
Where Northern Lights is
Northern Lights is at Øygarden receiving terminal, Naturgassparken. The store its captured CO₂ reaches is drawn with it. Nothing else drawn falls inside this frame.

Status
- Announced
- Funded
- FID taken
- In construction
- 2025-08-25First CO2 volumes injected and stored in the Aurora reservoir. No primary source for the earlier construction milestones has been read, so the history starts here.source
Technology and measures
- CO2 transport and storageearly-commercialThe pipelines, ships, terminals and permitted geological stores that a captured tonne has to reach before it counts as abated, and which no single site that captures can build for itself.
Funding
No public capital recorded for this project.
