Norway's state-owned energy firm Equinor has unveiled a plan to build a pipeline to transport CO2 produced by industrial firms in continental Europe for burial off the Norwegian coast

If it goes forward, the pipeline would be one of the largest carbon capture, transport and storage projects in the world.

"The offshore pipeline is planned to have a transport capacity of 20 to 40 million tonnes of CO2 per annum, meeting an emerging need for CCS from multiple European industrial players," Equinor said in a statement.Belgian energy infrastructure firm Fluxys will operate a terminal in Zeebrugge, which will collect CO2 from ships docking in the port and factories connected by pipeline.

The project has"the potential to enable large-scale decarbonisation of European, carbon intensive industries," said Grete Tveit, Equinor's senior vice president for Low Carbon Solutions.
