We work every day to find new, smart solutions that give us new business opportunities – and help us keep CO₂ out of the atmosphere.
Equinor is among the best in the world at producing oil and gas with low CO₂ emissions. We want to stay in the lead – and at the same time, we’re creating commercially viable solutions that help other industries cut their emissions.
Building on decades of experience, we are developing carbon storage capabilities on the Norwegian continental shelf and elsewhere. This means we can receive and store CO₂ from industries with high emissions, like cement and steel, as well as from power plants and waste incineration facilities.
In August 2025, Northern Lights received and stored its very first CO₂ shipment. This is the world’s first facility where several companies can send CO₂ for safe storage.
Carbon capture and storage also makes it possible to produce hydrogen with low emissions – so-called blue hydrogen – from natural gas.
