Cory and Northern Lights have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the realization of a major carbon capture and storage (CCS) project between the UK and Norway. Under the agreement, the companies will explore the opportunity to ship carbon from Cory’s energy from waste operations on the River Thames in London to Northern Lights’ subsea carbon storage facilities in Norway. 

In 2021, Cory announced plans to develop a major CCS project that could apply CCS technology to the UK’s largest single-site energy from waste (EfW) operation, with the potential to create the world’s largest single-site EfW decarbonization project. The CCS project will aim to install technology to capture more than 90% of the emissions from Cory’s existing EfW facility, and its new, adjacent EfW facility which is expected to be operational by 2026. The project intends to use marine shipment to transport liquefied CO2 to an offshore subsea storage site.

Northern Lights is a major part of the full CCS value chain initiative by the Norwegian state called “Longship”. The initial capacity of the project will be 1.5 million tonnes of COper year. Subject to market demand, the capacity can be increased to over 5 million or more in later stages of development.
