Equinor's Northern Lights CCS Project Provides Insights for Carbon Hubs in India and Southeast Asia
Equinor's Northern Lights carbon capture and storage (CCS) project is providing valuable insights for the development of multi-country carbon hubs in India and Southeast Asia, according to Desikan Sundararajan, vice-president and Country Manager for Singapore and India. The initiative facilitates the transport of captured carbon dioxide for permanent underground storage, emphasizing transparency through publicly available data. While there is significant interest from regional stakeholders, broader implementation hinges on the establishment of clear policy frameworks.

Equinor's Northern Lights carbon capture and storage (CCS) project offers insights for establishing multi-country carbon hubs in India and Southeast Asia, according to Desikan Sundararajan, vice-president and Country Manager for Singapore and India. The Northern Lights initiative, designed as a collaborative infrastructure, addresses the challenge of managing captured carbon dioxide by enabling its transport via ships for permanent underground storage, with long-term monitoring to ensure sequestration safety.
Key to this model is its transparency, as extensive project data has been made publicly available, fulfilling government funding requirements and creating a knowledge base for potential replication. There is strong interest from Indian and regional stakeholders in collaboration, although broader deployment will depend on the establishment of clear policy frameworks.
