Norway has opened the world's first commercial-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility, marking a turning point in global climate action. The project captures carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from a cement plant and stores them deep beneath the seabed in the North Sea. 5 billion will be invested to increase the total injection capacity from 1. 5 to a minimum of 5 million tonnes of CO 2 per year. Equinor and its partners are moving. .
