Aker Carbon Capture and SLB Capturi Win Major Contract
Aker Carbon Capture ASA has exciting news as it partners with SLB Capturi to deliver a cutting-edge carbon capture solution. The project, commissioned by Hafslund Celsio, will be centered around a waste-to-energy facility at Klemetsrud. This collaboration signifies a significant step forward for both companies in the carbon capture industry.
Understanding the Project's Scope
This contract entails an extensive engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) operation. Hafslund Celsio, the leading district heating supplier in the region and operator of the largest waste-to-energy plant, aims to implement robust carbon capture measures as part of the pioneering Longship project. This initiative is driven by the Norwegian Government to transition toward a sustainable future.
Components of the Carbon Capture Solution
The scope of work includes the construction of a comprehensive carbon capture facility. This setup will feature an advanced liquefaction system, a temporary CO2 storage and loading facility, and an intermediate CO2 storage and ship loading system at the local harbor. These infrastructures are vital as the captured CO2 is set to be transported to the Northern Lights permanent storage facility, located on the Norwegian continental shelf.
When Will the Project Become Operational?
Once operational, this facility is projected to capture an impressive 350,000 metric tons of CO2 every year. The anticipated completion for this ambitious project is set for the third quarter of 2029. This timeline showcases the strategic planning and innovative thinking behind the initiative, paving the way for a greener future.
Cost-Saving Innovations and Technology
The EPCIC award follows a meticulous cost reduction phase. During this period, Hafslund Celsio actively sought methods to enhance efficiencies across the project. Innovative capture technology plays a crucial role in this, as the award-winning modularized Just Catch 400 unit from SLB Capturi significantly optimizes the layout and minimizes the project's footprint. This forward-thinking design is essential for maintaining a cost-effective approach while maximizing output.
