Snohvit
Project Overview
Snøhvit is a liquid natural gas (LNG) facility in northern Norway, built by the oil and gas company Statoil. The project involves bringing huge volumes of natural gas to land for liquefaction and export from the first plant of its kind in Europe and the world’s northernmost LNG facility. The plant also includes an installation to capture CO2 from the natural gas, using amine techonlogy, with injection into a saline aquifer below the gas reservoir in the Barents Sea. Gas production began in 2007 and CO2 storage commenced in 2008.
