The Energy Park is the world's first location with infrastructure for permanently CO2 storage underneath the seabed. Located at Hjeltefjorden outside Bergen, it offers a unique setting for etablishing climate-frendly industries with a strong focus on low carbon emissions.
The site provides short-distance solutions, including access to natural gas, LNG, water, and CO2 storage infrastructure. In addition, its strategic location near key transport and logistics hubs ensure efficient and localized distribution options.
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. Resulting in an exeptionally low carbon footprint.
The Energy Park is the first location in the world to enable 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 achieve the lowest possible carbon footprint. The Energy Park is aslo regarded as Norway`s best suted site for large-scale production of hydrogen-based energy carriers form natural gas with integrated CO2 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 hydrogen, CO2, NG, LNG, 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, Straume, Bergen and the surrounding region.
CCS-value chain in one location
The Energy Park is the world`s first site that enables carbon capture and storage (CCS) to take place in one singel location.
CO2 infrastructure for all
The infrastructure is being developed to ensure that all actors, both local and regional, can deliver CO2 for storage, regardless of volume or transport method.
Hydrogen based energy production
The Energy Park offers optimal conditions for blue solutions like hydrogen-based energy production with integrated CO2 capture and storage.
Abundant access to Natural gas and LNG
The Energy Park benefits from direct access to natural gas and LNG via on-site pipelines. Enabling large-scale production of hydrogen-based energy solutions.
Synergies and short-distance solutions
At The Energy Park, short-distance solutions and potential for synergies, reuse, and cross-industry resource utilization is high.
Industry friendly municipality
Øygarden Municipality is an industry-friendly region with a strong focus on sustainable industrial development and the creation of secure, future-oriented jobs.
Maritime corridor and transport hub
The Energy Park is strategically located along the Hjeltefjorden maritime corridor, with short-distance access to key transport hubs at Ågotnes and Bergen.
Green hub with a strong industrial network
The Energy Park has been designated as one of Vestland County`s green hubs. The industrial area i closely connected to industrial clusters and competence networks.
Appropiate distance from residential areas
The Energy Park is located at a sufficient distance from local residential areas. This provides long-term security for industrial development.
