Notes
- The owners of Northern Lights JV DA are not in the Sodir data. They are listed on Northern Lights' own site, without shares.
- The receiving facility Øygarden Energipark has no position at Sodir. The map uses the start point of the CO2 pipeline.
- The arrows show direction, not volume. The direction is Sodir's from → to for each pipeline; Sodir has no flow per pipeline.
