Carbon capture and storage (CCS) will play a crucial role in the energy future if we want to reach the set climate targets. Thereby the Trudvang vision is to contribute to a sustainable future by developing a commercially sound and innovative CO₂ storage solution that mitigate climate change and promote environmental stewardship.

The plan

The Trudvang project involves capturing CO₂ from several industrial emission sources in Europe and transporting it, either via ships or pipeline, to the Trudvang store for injection and permanent storage under the seabed. The plan is to be in position to start storing CO₂ in 2029.

Trudvang’s core business is to offer CO₂ storage services, but through strategic collaboration we will explore to enable transport and storage as a service.

The Trudvang store is a large complex with CO₂ injection history and good data coverage from the Sleipner field. It is located in the Norwegian North Sea, east of Sleipner and approximately 165 kilometres from the Norwegian coast. The wells will inject CO₂ into a large saline aquifer in the Utsira formation, a geological formation that has successfully demonstrated safe storage of CO₂ for almost 30 years.

Key focus for the Trudvang partners is to select a value chain that meet our customers’ needs, that is safe, has a low carbon footprint and is cost-competitive while meeting our decision schedule ambitions.

The project is now in the process of performing pre-FEED studies to identify the reference case for further work.
