On September 26, Norwegian Minister of Energy Terje Aasland led the official opening of the Northern Lights CO2 transport and storage facility in Øygarden, near Bergen. This project is developed by a joint venture between Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies in collaboration with the Norwegian government.
Terje Aasland, Norway’s Minister of Energy, commented: “With Longship, Europe’s first full-scale value chain for CO2 management will be in operation in 2025. It is inspiring to now see the results from Norway’s long-term commitment to CO2 management.
Norway-based carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCS) initiative Northern Lights has announced that it will start its first CO2 storage operations in early 2025. On September 26, Norwegian Minister of Energy Terje Aasland led the official opening of the Northern Lights CO2 transport and storage facility in Øygarden, near Bergen.
The project is said to reflect the Norwegian government’s ambition to develop a full-scale CCS value chain in Norway, demonstrating the potential of this decarbonization approach. Longship, with captured CO2 from Brevik and Northern Lights’ transport and storage, will be operational in 2025.
Construction of Northern Lights’ CO 2 transport and storage infrastructure and Heidelberg Materials’ capture facility in Brevik is progressing. As of now, the Brevik CCS is 76 percent complete, while Northern Lights’ storage facility is 94 percent complete.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
