Negative Emission Management (NET)

The inauguration of the CO₂ transport and storage facility "Northern Lights" in Øygarden near Bergen was celebrated by many as a milestone in the fight against climate change. However, there are also critical voices that see the project as a possible whitewashing campaign by the major oil companies Shell and TotalEnergies. They argue that the plant will not have a decisive impact on global CO₂ emissions and will therefore only marginally slow down climate change.
