Hammerfest LNG
Hammerfest LNG is located in Hammerfest municipality, Finnmark.
The facility receives gas from the Snøhvit field in the Barents Sea. Natural gas is cooled into liquid natural gas (LNG) and transported from the plant by gas tankers, while the gas's CO2 content is separated out and sent back to the field for reinjection. The plant came on stream in August 2007.
