[en] Statoil is establishing the world's first large-scale plant for CO₂ capture at Mongstad, Norway, before 2015. The plant may be epoch-making for the planet's environment and for climate challenges if the project succeeds. The CO₂ capture plant will be built simultaneously with a combined power and heating station which will produce 2,3 TWh electric power and 2,8 TWh heat annually, with nearly 80 percent power efficiency. The project has been established with political and financial support from the Norwegian Stoltenberg government. Further details on the project are provided (ml)
