Norway’s carbon storage project underway
Marine monitoring company Miros lays 109km of pipeline for the Northern Lights carbon storage and transport (CCS) project in Norway.
Miros deployed their cloud-enabled WaveSystem and an additional RangeFinder wave radar on project vessels to accurately measure the surrounding data in real time.
This ensured efficient and safe pipelay operations.
Northern Lights is Norway's first CCS licence and an important part of the Longship project, the Norwegian Government’s full-scale CCUS plan.
The Longship project will be the first ever cross-border, open-source CCS infrastructure network and will offer companies across Europe the opportunity to store their CO2 safely and permanently underground.
Phase one of the project will be ready to receive CO2 in 2024 with a storage capacity of up to 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
Miros chief executive, Marius Five Aarset, said: 'As the industry looks towards more sustainable maritime operations and the delivery of projects to reach net zero goals, Miros is proud to provide real-time data to facilitate the realisation of both these goals.
'Our ongoing work with long-standing maritime industry partners, for projects across the energy sector, speaks to our vast experience providing accurate and reliable ocean insights to optimise operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.'
