The \u201cNorthern Pioneer\u201d, the world\u2019s first commercial vessel designed to transport liquefied CO\u2082<\/a><\/strong> , has arrived in Stavanger, Norway, marking a key step forward in Northern Lights\u2019 value chain. With a carrying capacity of 8,000 tonnes of CO\u2082, the 130-metre vessel is set to begin operations in 2024. <\/p>\n\n

The role of the Northern Pioneer in European decarbonisation<\/h2>\n\n

The ship will play a key role in the safe transport of captured CO\u2082 from industrial sites in Europe to the Northern Lights receiving terminal in \u00d8ygarden, Norway. From there, the CO\u2082 will be permanently stored 2,600 metres below the seabed<\/strong> . This operation is part of the Longship project, which was initiated by the Norwegian Parliament in 2019. <\/p>\n\n

Northern Lights JV, a partnership between Equinor, TotalEnergies and Shell, is the first company to offer commercial carbon capture and storage<\/a><\/strong> (CCS) services. With agreements already signed with Yara (Netherlands) and \u00d8rsted (Denmark), the company is consolidating a reliable transport and storage network to support Europe\u2019s decarbonisation goals. <\/p>\n\n

Technical details and next steps<\/h2>\n\n

The \u201cNorthern Pioneer\u201d is the first of four sister vessels specially designed for the transport of liquefied CO\u2082. Registered in Norway and managed by Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (\u201cK\u201d LINE), the vessel will shortly be heading to the reception facility in \u00d8ygarden for commissioning. <\/p>\n\n

Tim Heijn, Managing Director of Northern Lights JV, commented that this is a significant step in building the world\u2019s largest CO\u2082 transport fleet<\/strong> , and that it also reinforces its commitment to offering a reliable value chain for industrial decarbonisation<\/a><\/strong> in Europe.<\/p>\n\n

The ship also received the blessing of Tina Bru<\/a><\/strong> , former Norwegian Minister of Petroleum and Energy, who has been a key figure since the unveiling of the Longship project.<\/p>\n\n
