StatoilHydro works purposefully to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions from the group's installations.
The reductions will be achieved by:
- Injecting CO2 underground for long-term storage or improved oil recovery (IOR)
- Using hydroelectricity from the Norwegian grid to power installations which currently use on-site generation
- Enhancing energy efficiency.
The group is currently involved in four large-scale commercial projects on carbon capture and storage at different levels of maturity:
- The Sleipner area in the North Sea
- The Snøhvit LNG production in northern Norway
- In Salah in Algeria
- The carbon capture facility at the Mongstad refinery, west Norwegian cost
