Norway’s capital just leveled up in the renewable energy game with its first pumped hydro storage (PHS) facility. Think of it as a mountain-sized battery that stores Oslo’s abundant rainfall like digital coins in a crypto wallet – except this one actually solves real-world problems.

[pdf] Northern Lights is the world’s first merchant CO2 transportation and storage project. The first phase of the project has a storage capacity of 1.5 Mt CO2/year, which has been fully booked by customers from Norway and Continental Europe.
