Carbon capture and storage
Following the start of injection in August, Northern Lights has issued the first set of certificates documenting that the carbon dioxide captured from the Heidelberg Materials cement factory has been transported and stored permanently in the Aurora reservoir.
As COP30 wrapped up in Brazil, the country finds itself at an inflection point, positioned to deliver South America’s first carbon-dioxide injection by mid-2026.
The 14 available locations are estimated to be able to provide up to 2 gigatonnes of additional carbon-dioxide storage capacity.
