Norway dismisses plans to obtain carbon dioxide

The Norwegian government has decided to dismiss their much anticipated plans to obtain carbon dioxide and place it underground.

According to BBC News the Oil and Energy Ministry stated that research for carbon capture will be continued regardless of its dismissal.

When the Norwegian Labour Party displayed the carbon capture plan in 2007, they compared it to landing on the moon.

The Oil and Energy Minister stated that the problem with the plan was that it was taking too long and was too expensive.

The idea of carbon capture dates back to the 1930`s and is regarded as a good technology to eliminate greenhouse gas.
