Norway buries carbon-capture plan

BBC : In 2007 the government of Norway presented a plan to institute a full-scale carbon dioxide capturing program at the Mongstad oil refinery. The outgoing Labor government, after its defeat in the recent general election, has announced the cancellation of the plan. The cost and difficulty of developing the full-scale technology proved prohibitive to continuing the project. Although the basic technology for trapping and storing carbon dioxide underground has existed since the 1930s, adapting it for use on practical levels has proven difficult.
