  "account": "The Norwegian government is supporting a new CO2 storage terminal at Northern Lights, located outside Bergen, to accommodate larger and smaller industry players. Starting in 2028, the new terminal will enable more entities to store CO2, including smaller actors. Energinet Minister Terje Aasland explained that Norway's approach differs from Europe's due to the presence of numerous smaller emitters. The CCB Energy CarbonLink AS, which has received 63.3 million kroner in state support, is constructing the terminal. The administrative director of CCB Energy CarbonLink, Ronny Haufe, expressed gratitude for the support, stating that it opens doors for additional actors to store CO2 at the Northern Lights facility in Vestland county. The terminal can receive CO2 via various means, such as tankers, containers, boats, or other solutions. Enova's assistance is crucial for the technology's growth, Aasland said, as the industry needs to reduce emissions and become a low-emission society. The Northern Lights storage facility currently stores CO2 from Heidelberg Cement's cement plant in Brevik. Aasland emphasized the importance of flexibility and adapting to different solutions in the market. Enova plans to conduct consultations with smaller actors to provide support for CO2 capture. The new terminal is a significant step in Enova's commitment to carbon capture and storage, according to Enova's leader for industry, Knut Granlund. The industry faces challenges in launching green ventures, such as hydrogen and ammonia, due to waiting for others to join. Aasland believes that the terminal will help kickstart the green chain and trigger investments from actors who previously lacked a place to store CO2.",
