The Energy Park

The Energy Park is the world's first location with infrastructure for permanently storing CO2 underneath the seabed. Located by a fjord outside of Bergen, this is a unique location for establishing climate-friendly industry with focus on the lowest carbon footprint.

About the Energy Park

The Energy Park is among the world's best locations for establishing green industries aiming to capture and store CO2 or to produce climate-friendly products with short-distance access to necessary resources.

The Energy Park is the first location in the world to include the entire value chain for carbon capture and storage (CCS) from start to finish.

The area includes important sources and companies that support the global climate goals through future sustainable business areas. With the world's first CO2 reception and storage facility at site, industrial players who capture CO2 will be able to dispose of this locally and with the lowest possible carbon footprint.

The site is also a unique location for large-scale production of hydrogen-based energy carriers from natural gas with carbon capture and storage.

CCB Energy works to create synergy opportunities for industries in the Energy Park. The site can offer short-distance access to resources such as clean hydrogen, clean CO2, surplus heat, oxygen and water.

The Energy Park is located in Øygarden, which is an industry-friendly municipality in Vestland county, a 45-minute drive from Bergen city center. It is situated by the main shipping lane with proximity to the traffic hub and industrial clusters at Ågotnes, where Bergen's freight port will also be located.
