Aker Carbon Capture, Lyse and Forus Energi have agreed to:

Explore the possibility to jointly develop a carbon capture and storage project at Forus Energi’s waste to energy plant at Forus outside Sandnes and Stavanger.

Explore ways for Lyse, Aker Carbon Capture and Forus Energi to further extend the application of key technologies for energy consumption when installing CCS facilities.

Explore and promote the application of carbon capture in the waste to energy sector in Norway.

By 2030, Lyse aims to be ‘climate neutral’ in its own operations, at the same time as it will contribute to significant emission reductions regionally, nationally and internationally. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is non-exclusive and is valid for three years where after the companies can opt to extend further.
