“In my opinion, Norway is sitting on a gold mine with regard to the possibilities of storing CO2 in the North Sea. Not only will the empty reservoirs secure a safe storage, but it will also drive the development of new technology and secure Norway as an important energy nation in the future beyond the oil and gas era.

DNV has its competence background from 140 years of standard setting, and we are – through our global presence – in the position to bring forward our best practise experience. During these past years DNV has gained substantial experience within CO2 capture and storage, as well as within other technological areas to fight climate change, such as renewable energy and energy management. I believe we have a role to play in the big picture,” says Elisabeth Tørstad.
