The USA backs the northern route of the Russian oil transportation

The USA is encouraging Russia to build an oil terminal directed to the Barents Sea.

According to RusEnergy, Russian Minister of Industry and Energy Victor Khristenko and US Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman announced their support for such a plan after a recent round of negotiations between the two officials.

We stand for the northern route to help oil export from Russia to the USA and other countries. This will also make raw oil transportation cheaper, Bodman was quoted as saying by RusEnergy.

Europe’s only multi-source, injection-ready CO₂ storage site will more than triple its capacity by 2028. The decision follows an agreement with Stockholm Exergi to transport and store up to 800 – 900 kilotonnes of CO₂ per year. “This decision is years in the making, and the culmination of decades of hard work from many, Bellona included” says Bellona Europa Director Jonas Helseth.
