Collaboration Between Leading Companies for Carbon Capture
Aker Carbon Capture ASA is excited to share transformative news regarding its partnership with SLB Capturi, as they embark on a significant project aimed at bolstering sustainability. The two renowned companies have been awarded a crucial contract to implement a comprehensive carbon capture solution at Hafslund Celsio's waste-to-energy facility in Oslo.
Hafslund Celsio: A Pioneering Energy Supplier
Hafslund Celsio stands out as Norway’s leading provider of district heating, recognized for its extensive operations, including the country's largest waste-to-energy plant. This initiative seeks to integrate cutting-edge carbon capture technology into their business model as part of Longship, a full value-chain carbon capture and storage project spearheaded by the Norwegian government.
Details of the Engineering Contract
The recently announced contract encompasses a wide range of services, including engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) of a state-of-the-art carbon capture facility. The project promises significant advancements, such as a liquefaction system and a temporary storage facility, which will facilitate CO2 transportation. This CO2 will ultimately be directed to the Northern Lights storage facility located on the Norwegian continental shelf, indicating the project's ambitious scope.
Expected Outcomes of the Project
Upon completion, anticipated in 2029, the carbon capture plant is projected to significantly impact the environment by capturing an impressive 350,000 metric tons of CO2 annually. The operational efficiency has been enhanced through a thorough cost reduction phase, which uncovered numerous opportunities for streamlining the project. The agile framework adopted, particularly utilizing SLB Capturi's modular Just Catch 400 unit, underscores a commitment to innovation and practicality in carbon capture applications.
