Torbjørg Klara Heskestad (female), graduated with an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Trondheim and joined Equinor (former Statoil) in 1997. She currently holds the position as Vice President for Global CCS. Through various leadership positions she has gained insight in Equinor’s unique capability and experience within Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). These capabilities are based on decades of technology development, Technology Centre Mongstad (the world’s largest test centre for developing CO2 capture technologies), >25 years of operational experience (CCS projects Sleipner, Snøhvit, InSalah) and the current development of the CO2 transport and storage projects in the North Sea (Northern Lights, Smeaheia, CO2 Highway Europe, CO2 Storage Kalundborg and UK’s Northern Endurance Partnership) and US Gulf of Mexico (Bayou Bend) that are crucial to enable industries to de-carbonise.
