Northern Lights 与独立研究基金会 NORSAR 签署协议，以监测北海的 Aurora 二氧化碳储存库。这一举措将增加 Northern Lights 和挪威的商业机会，同时标志着储存容量和挪威开发的技术开始向国际出口。

“Forway 在碳管理方面处于领先地位，多年来一直致力于从国际视角开发碳捕获和储存作为一种经济高效的气候措施。能源部长 Terje Aasland 表示：“NORSAR 与 Northern Lights 之间的协议提供了一种经济高效的二氧化碳储存监测解决方案，该解决方案采用挪威开发的技术，可以出口到其他国家。”

“凭借数十年在挪威大陆架二氧化碳储存方面的专业知识，Northern Lights 将为挪威和欧洲工业提供 Aurora 二氧化碳储存库内安全永久的二氧化碳储存。持续监测二氧化碳注入和地震活动将支持安全永久的储存和可靠的运营，”Northern Lights 董事总经理 Tim Heijn 表示。

NORSAR 将在卑尔根附近建立并运营一个永久性监测站，利用尖端技术检测和分析与 Aurora 水库二氧化碳注入相关的地震活动。这些数据将支持 Northern Lights 保持运营完整性，并确保安全注入和永久储存超过 1 亿吨二氧化碳。

“商业二氧化碳储存是挪威一个具有巨大潜力的新业务领域。从第一天开始建立信任至关重要。这种监测还将向当局和公众保证，储存地点在注入和长期储存阶段都保持完整性，”NORSAR 首席执行官 Anne Strømmen Lycke 说道。

Northern Lights has signed an agreement with NORSAR, an independent research foundation, to monitor the Aurora CO2 storage reservoir in the North Sea. This initiative will enhance commercial opportunities for Northern Lights and Norway while marking the beginning of international exports of both storage capacity and Norwegian-developed technology.

“Norway has a leading position in carbon management and has, over many years, worked to develop carbon capture and storage as a cost-effective climate measure in an international perspective. The agreement between NORSAR and Northern Lights provides a cost-effective solution for monitoring CO2 storage with technology developed in Norway, which can be exported to other countries” says Minister of Energy Terje Aasland.

“Leveraging decades of expertise in CO2 storage on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, Northern Lights will provide Norwegian and European industry with safe and permanent CO2 storage within the Aurora CO2 storage reservoir. Continuous monitoring of CO2 injection and seismic activity will support safe and permanent storage and reliable operations” says Northern Lights Managing Director Tim Heijn.

NORSAR will establish and operate a permanent monitoring station near Bergen, using cutting-edge technology to detect and analyse seismic activity related to CO2 injection in the Aurora reservoir. This data will support Northern Lights in maintaining operational integrity and ensure safe injection and permanent storage of more than 100 million tonnes of CO2.

“Commercial CO2 storage is a new business area with immense potential for Norway. It is crucial to build trust from day one. This monitoring will also reassure authorities and the public that the storage site maintains its integrity throughout both the injection and long-term storage phases,” says NORSAR CEO Anne Strømmen Lycke.
