About
Equinor is a Norwegian state-majority-owned international energy major (oil, gas, wind, CCS) headquartered in Stavanger with around 25,000 employees. In April 2024 it acquired Rolls-Royce’s amine-based liquid-solvent DAC intellectual property and assets and novated the UK DESNZ-funded Project ENCORE contract, running a demonstrator plant on the Rolls-Royce Derby campus that complements its Northern Lights CO2 transport and storage infrastructure. DAC is an internal R&D side-activity within Equinor’s broader low-carbon portfolio rather than its core business.
