Burying carbon, building hope: Norway’s bold climate experiment
What if one country could help Europe reverse its carbon footprint — literally?
Norway is turning that idea into action. Backed by its government and major energy players, the Northern Lights project is the world’s first carbon shipping and storage network — designed to capture CO₂ from factories across Europe and bury it deep beneath the North Sea.
If successful, this initiative could store up to 5 million metric tons of CO₂ annually — a model for how technology, policy, and industry can align to fight climate change.
It’s a massive experiment with equally massive implications: can innovation offset hard-to-abate emissions, and can collaboration make it scalable?
