“A group of technology companies is investing in a new form of carbon capture that aims to cut emissions from household waste in an effort to reduce landfill use and to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. 

Frontier, an umbrella group of tech companies including payments firm Stripe, internet giant Google and software company Salesforce is investing just under $32 million in a carbon-capture-and-storage project in Norway in the hope of removing 100,000 metric tons of carbon from the atmosphere between 2029 and 2030. 

Under the plan, carbon-dioxide emissions that are generated when trash from the Norwegian capital Oslo is burned to produce energy for heating will be captured and then stored under the North Sea. The initiative is part of a larger carbon-capture project known as the Northern Lights project.”
