  • The Prime Minister travelled to Bergen to meet his Norwegian counterpart Jonas Gahr Store to mark a new green industrial partnership.

The article discusses comments made by UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer during his visit to Norway, where he highlighted the potential for collaboration between the UK and Norway in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. Starmer emphasized that both countries are well-positioned to lead in CCS due to their geological advantages and existing infrastructure. He pointed out that Norway has been successfully storing carbon for over 25 years, and the UK has similar geological formations suitable for carbon storage. Starmer's visit included discussions on how both nations could work together to meet their net zero emissions targets, with a particular focus on the North Sea Transition Deal, which aims to make the UK a leader in clean energy. This partnership could not only help in reducing carbon emissions but also create jobs and stimulate economic growth in both countries.
