OSLO - Norway said on Monday it would finance 16.8 billion crowns out of an estimated total investment of 25.1 billion crowns for what could be the world’s first full-scale carbon capture and storage project. CCS has been cited by governments, energy companies and industry for decades as central to plans to reduce emissions and move to a lower-carbon future, but development has been slow and there are few commercial projects in existence in the world.

Under the plan, the Norwegian government would fund a carbon capture project at a cement factory in southern Norway operated by Germany's Heidelberg CementThe government would also finance a facility at a waste incineration plant in Oslo operated by Finland's FortumOslo will also finance Northern Lights, a joint venture between European oil majors Equinor
