Underground storage for a better climate 

The capture of CO2 from various power generation processes, including the hydrogen based route, has been a central R&D topic at StatoilHydro for over a decade.

Fossil fuels can be transformed into the two CO2-free energy carriers, electricity and hydrogen.

In these processes the carbon dioxide is captured and stored safely underground. 

Illustration shows how natural gas (or oil, coal) is used to manufacture the two CO2-free energy carriers electricity and hydrogen. The new element is the incorporation of processes that capture and store the CO2.
