BusinessGreen: Norway has abandoned plans to build a full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) plant at the Mongstad refinery, curtailing a $1bn project known as the country's "moon landing". The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy confirmed late last week the plans would be halted and the government will instead look to develop "at least one full-scale CCS project ... by 2020" in another location.

The move, if successful, would be the first major step by the U.S. government to limit greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector. For the first time, plants would be required to capture some of the carbon dioxide gas produced by burning fossil fuels in addition to finding ways to produce less of the gas in the first place. The regulations, which are a key element of President...
