Northern Lights issues first certificates confirming offshore CO2 storage
Credits: Northern Lights Norway’s Northern Lights carbon storage project has issued its first certificates confirming the permanent offshore storage of CO2. The certificates verify that CO2 captured at Heidelberg Materials’ Brevik cement plant has been received, transported and injected into the Aurora reservoir beneath the North Sea. They are intended to provide customers with documented proof of storage and form part of the project’s digital measurement and reporting frame

Capacity Allocation Debate for Prinos: Insights and Implications
Prinos Installation in Kavala - Greece The market currently favours a capacity allocation "formula" similar to existing European practices for the underground CO2 storage facility in Prinos. This approach rejects the proposal from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, as outlined in the bill under consultation. The proposal suggested a regulatory allocation for one part and a tender based on price for the remainder. Meeting Overview This conclusion emerged from a mee

ECOLOG and DESFA have secured funding of 169.3 million euros for the project APOLLOCO2 in Greece
source: ECOLOG LinkedIn The APOLLOCO2 project in Greece, initiated and led by ECOLOG and DESFA has secured a grant of 169.3 million Euro from the #EU Innovation Fund. This critical funding will enable the construction of a Floating Liquefaction and Storage Unit with a liquefaction capacity of 3mtpa expandable to 5mtpa. The facility will also benefit from cold energy produced via heat exchangers for the liquefaction of CO2, due to its co-location with the neighbouring LNG

Wood Mackenzie warns-EU Carbon Storage Targets face major shortfall
Independent analysis reveals regulatory and economic barriers could leave the EU 40% below 2030 underground carbon storage targets. The European Union’s ambitious carbon storage targets under the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) are unlikely to be met, according to new research from Wood Mackenzie. The study, commissioned by ExxonMobil , OMV Petrom , Shell , and TotalEnergies , but conducted independently, finds that Europe’s available CO2 injection capacity by 2030 will reach o

CCUS 2025: Collaboration over competition defines UK’s Carbon Capture push
Image source: CCSA At the CCUS 2025 Conference held in London lastweek, the future of carbon capture and storage didn’t sound just like a tale of pipes and permits—it sounded like a movement. Engineers, bankers, and policymakers gathered to share a rare kind of optimism about how the UK and Europe might still reach their net-zero goals. Funding is complex, politics uncertain, but one message rang out: no one can do this alone. A Startup Mindset for Heavy Industry When Phil H
