The Dunkirk industrial area in France is home to essential industries such as cement and steel. But it’s also currently responsible for a full 20% of the country’s industrial CO2 emissions 🏭 We’re looking to do something about that. We’ve just signed a project development agreement with France’s main gas transmission operator GRTgaz. The project plans to connect captured CO2 from French industrial emitters to safe and permanent storage offshore Norway via the planned CO2 Highway Europe pipeline project 🇫🇷🇳🇴🇪🇺 The development will have a network of onshore CO2 pipelines, to be developed by GRTGaz, which will connect Dunkirk to the CO2 Highway Europe. The large-scale CO2 Highway Europe pipeline also looks to connect Zeebrugge, Belgium to a portfolio of storage sites under the seabed offshore Norway 🇧🇪🇳🇴 The capacity in the initial phase of the GRTgaz agreement will be 3-5.5 million tonnes of CO2/year, and can be expanded to accommodate CO2 captured at other French industrial clusters.

Amazing strides towards being an energy transition leader. Very proud! 🎉
Interesting
Fantastic update.
'Clean CO2' and 'clean Hydrogen' Laugh or smile, not sure...
1000 km pipeline ! Amazing !
I really wish I was a part of this

3moThis is fantastic news! 🌍 The collaboration between GRTgaz and the CO2 Highway Europe pipeline project is a significant step towards reducing industrial CO2 emissions. Connecting Dunkirk and other industrial clusters to offshore storage in Norway is an innovative solution that could set a precedent for other regions. I'm curious, what are the projected timelines for the initial phase, and are there any plans to expand this model to other countries in the future? 🚀👏 Congrats Equinor
