CO2 Highway Europe

Equinor appointed ERM as permitting and environmental consultant for the CO2 Highway Europe project, including the preparation of environmental impact assessments. The project consists of two pipelines that will transport CO2 and store it in selected reservoirs in Norway for permanent storage. The first CO2 pipeline starts in Zeebrugge in Belgium with a connection from Eemshaven in the Netherlands (‘Belgian Trunkline’), and the second in Wilhelmshaven in Germany (‘German Trunkline’). Both pipelines run through German territorial waters.
