The initiative (see picture) includes Norcem (cement plant), Fortum Oslo Varme (Klemetsrud WtE plant) as well as Northern Lights (transport logistics and permanent storage). The total investments are estimated at NOK 17.1 billion. The operating costs for ten years of operation are estimated at NOK 8 billion. The state\u2019s share of these costs is estimated at NOK 16.8 billion. However, Klemetsrud CCS project will receive its support (3 billion NOK) only if it is able to raise the remaining funds (ca. 3.8 billion NOK) from other sources, the main possible contributor being the EU Innovation Fund.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_6809\" style=\"width: 612px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6809\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6809\" src=\"https:\/\/task36.ieabioenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/12\/ill-Norway.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/task36.ieabioenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/12\/ill-Norway.jpg 602w, https:\/\/task36.ieabioenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/12\/ill-Norway-350x212.jpg 350w, https:\/\/task36.ieabioenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/12\/ill-Norway-250x152.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Longship CCS project.
