Episode: #58 What does Electrifying the Melkøya LNG plant tell us about Norwegian CCS? (with Eivind Berstad, Bellona)
Description: In today’s episode: The complex decision-making process behind the energy infrastructure at Norway's Melkøya LNG plant. The plant, located in the Snøhvit field in the northernmost region of Norway, lacks a pipeline to transport gas to Europe. Therefore, the gas must be liquefied, a highly energy-intensive process. There have been plans to decarbonize the liquefaction process through carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. However, recently the government has shifted towards electrification, raising questions about the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of CCS.
Our guest this week is Eivind Berstad, a chemical engineer and team leader for CCS...
