Yara: pioneering carbon capture and storage with Northern Lights
- Published 26 November 2025; updated 30 September 2026; estimated reading time 2 minutes. Marked available worldwide; listed under Energy and CCUS.
- Yara plans to capture and liquefy up to 800,000 metric tonnes of CO₂ per year at its ammonia/fertiliser plant in Sluiskil, Netherlands. A binding agreement with Northern Lights covers transport and storage of 12 million tonnes over 15 years.
- The page says liquefied CO₂ will be transported from the Netherlands to a permanent storage site about 2.6 km beneath the Norwegian continental shelf, as part of Norway’s Longship project. It frames the agreement as a cross-border, shared CCS value chain for industrial emissions.
- Northern Lights Managing Director Børre Jacobsen is quoted saying Yara’s volumes fill available capacity and that first shipments from the Netherlands to Norway were expected from early 2026. The page’s wording is a plan/expectation; it does not confirm completed transport or measured storage by the current date.
- The article describes CCS as relevant to hard-to-abate sectors such as cement, steel and chemicals and says it could support lower-carbon ammonia and fertilisers. It does not report lifecycle emissions, capture rate, permanence monitoring results or net abatement after energy use.
