Project description

DNV GL AS, together with Carbon Limits AS have created for the client a tool to calculate the carbon footprint of the Norwegian Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Demonstration project (NCD) value chain. The tool created follows ISO standards 14040, «Life Cycle Analysis – principles and framework», and 14044, «Life Cycle Analysis – requirements and guidelines». 

The objective of the tool is to quantify the carbon footprint of the NCD project over the lifetime of the project. As the purpose of the NCD project is to store CO2 to mitigate climate change, evaluating the emissions of greenhouse gases per ton of CO2 stored is important for the project. 

The tool has been tested in a case study that includes CO2 capture, transport and storage from a cement plant.
