Legal and regulatory framework for Swedish/Norwegian CCS cooperation

Rapport, 2022

A description is provided of the legal/regulatory situation, as of early December 2021, for
CO2 transport from Sweden/Preem AB to Norway/Northern Lights.
CO2 transport from Sweden to Norway for the purpose of geological storage under the
seabed is since 2019 legal, thanks to the provisional application of the amended Article 6
of the London Protocol, provided that the necessary unilateral declarations are deposited
from Norway and Sweden to IMO and that Sweden and Norway enter a bilateral
agreement on the matter.
Economic incentives for CCS include the EU-ETS for fossil CO2 and the Swedish support for
Bio-CCS through reverse auctioning.
