Havstjerne and EcoLog to establish Cross-Border CO2 transport and storage route
The Havstjerne offshore carbon storage project and terminal operator EcoLog have executed a collaboration agreement to offer European industrial emitters an integrated cross-border co2 transport, and permanent storage solution.
Under the agreement, emissions collected at the dual-purpose EcoLog Terminal in Amsterdam will be transported via specialized CO2 carriers to the Havstjerne offshore storage site, located on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
The partnership aims to bridge the midstream gap for hard-to-abate industrial plants across Northern Europe that lack direct access to pipeline infrastructure, providing a flexible maritime logistics corridor for sequestering captured volumes.

The joint infrastructure framework combines EcoLog’s terminal handling, onshore collection logistics, and liquid CO2 shipping capabilities with Havstjerne’s subsea injection and reservoir operations.
By establishing a open-access shipping route between the Port of Amsterdam and Norwegian offshore storage licenses, the partners aim to scale cross-border sequestration capacity and lower per-ton transport costs for European industrial emitters facing rising EU ETS compliance costs.
