The Norne Carbon Storage Hub is a world-scale CO2 reception and storage project located at the Port of Aalborg, Denmark. Norne and the Port of Aalborg have signed a 30-year exclusive agreement and secured a Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) grant. The EU grant helps fund the construction of a new 500-metre quay for CO2 reception facilities. With a capacity of 15 million tonnes of CO2 per year, the hub is perfectly positioned to connect to both onshore and near-shore CO2 storage via pipelines, supporting both Danish and EU decarbonization efforts. Norne was designated a Project of Common Interest (PCI) by the EU in 2023. PCI designation provides accelerated permitting and eligibility to apply for additional CEF funding, which Norne is currently pursuing.
The Inspiration for “Norne”: The name for the Norne Carbon Storage Hub draws inspiration from the Norns of Norse mythology, embodying a commitment to shaping a sustainable future. Similar to the Norns who weave the threads of destiny, our state-of-the-art hub plays a pivotal role in weaving a more responsible environmental narrative. By effectively capturing and storing carbon emissions, we aspire to influence the trajectory of climate change, providing a proactive and innovative solution for businesses and industries seeking to reduce their carbon footprint. Much like the Norns guide the fate of beings in Norse mythology, the Norne Carbon Storage Hub guides organizations towards a greener and more sustainable path, contributing to a positive legacy for generations to come.
