Second phase Northern Lights carbon storage project

General – Carbon Storage

Aker Solutions has been awarded a contract for the Northern Lights Phase 2 project by Equinor as technical service provider on behalf of the Northern Lights joint venture.

Northern Lights Phase 1 is part of Norway’s Longship project that will establish a full-scale value chain for CO2 capture, transport, and storage services.

The first phase development of Northern Lights is completed and ready to receive CO2 from Norwegian and European industrial emitters.

Phase 2 of Northern Lights will increase the transport and storage capacity from 1.5 million to a minimum of 5 million tonnes of CO2 per year and is enabled by a grant from the Connecting Europe Facility for Energy (CEF Energy) funding scheme.

Aker Solutions’ scope of work includes the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of the onshore facilities, and will include work for our locations at Fornebu and Stord, Norway and Mumbai, India.

The contract award demonstrates that Aker Solutions is a trusted partner with execution capabilities and commitment to advancing the Northern Lights project, building on the experience gained from Phase 1 of the project.

The project will start in the second quarter of 2025 and is expected to be completed in 2028. The contract has a balanced risk-reward profile with aligned incentives for efficient and safe delivery.
