CO2 atlases
Norway has extensive experience with storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) under the seabed on the continental shelf. The Norwegian Offshore Directorate is working on issues related to the capture, transport and storage of CO2.
We are mapping areas suited for long-term and safe storage and are also assessing the use of CO2 to enhance oil recovery.
CO2 atlas for the Norwegian Continental Shelf
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate has identified possible CO2 storage sites on the Norwegian shelf, and published a complete, updated version of earlier atlases.
CO2 storage atlas of the southern Barents Sea
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has completed the mapping of possible CO 2 storage sites on the Norwegian shelf, and will publish an atlas of the southern part of the Barents Sea today.
CO2 storage atlas of the Norwegian Sea
The Norwegian Sea may be able to store 5.5 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide, according to the NPD’s new storage atlas. This is more than 100 times Norway’s total CO2 discharge last year.
CO2 storage atlas of the North Sea
The CO2 storage atlas provides an overview over areas in the Norwegian part of the North Sea where CO2 can be stored safely in the subsurface for a long time.
