The first commercial agreement was signed in August 2022 with Yara to transport and store CO2 captured from Yara Sluiskil, an ammonia and fertilizer plant in the Netherlands. Some 800,000 metric tons of CO2 per year will be captured, compressed and liquefied in the Netherlands and then transported to the Northern Lights site to be permanently sequestered off the coast of Øygarden in the Norwegian North Sea.

This map shows the stages involved in capturing, transporting and storing CO2 as part of the Northern Lights project, using the example of the Dutch-based company Yara.
First, the CO2 is captured, compressed and liquefied in the Netherlands. Then it is shipped to the Northern Lights receiving terminal in Øygarden, Norway, and permanently sequestered in geological layers buried about 2,600 meters below the seabed in the Norwegian North Sea.
