Norway could become Europe’s carbon-capture champion as fertilizer producer Yara opens a prestigious project at its facility in Sluiskil, the Netherlands.

The site is Europe’s largest fertilizer factory, covering an area equivalent to 196 football pitches and producing five million tonnes a year. Yara now wants to establish itself as a leader in another field: carbon capture.

The project is described as the first of its kind. Yara’s chief executive acknowledges that it carries risks, while critics argue that the technology can never save the climate.
