Aker Solutions and SLB
Capturi have been awarded a contract for the carbon capture and storage
solution at Hafslund Celsio’s waste-to-energy plant in Oslo, Norway.
The
contract will deliver a carbon capture plant, a liquefaction system, temporary
storage, and loading facility at the waste incineration site.
It also includes
an intermediate CO2 storage and ship loading system at Oslo harbour. The
project is an important milestone in the development of a full-scale CO2 value
chain in Norway, as part of the Norwegian Government’s Longship
project.
For
Aker Solutions, this is a substantial1 contract and the scope of
work includes the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and
commissioning (EPCIC) of the onshore facilities. The project will mainly
involve its locations at Fornebu and Stord in Norway, and in Mumbai, India.
The waste-to-energy plant at
Klemetsrud is the largest carbon emitter in Oslo and is responsible for 19% of
the capital’s fossil carbon emissions. The project will be delivered based on
SLB Capturi’s modularised Just Catch™ 400 unit and when operational, the carbon
capture plant is expected to capture 350,000 metric tonnes of CO2 per year.
The
space efficient Just Catch product design has been fundamental to enabling a
viable, cost-effective solution by reducing onsite footprint, installation and
outfitting work.
Kjetel Digre, chief executive officer for Aker Solutions, said: “Today marks a significant
milestone for Aker Solutions and the CCUS industry in Norway.
"We are proud to
be part of this key project and look forward to contributing to effective
project execution, based on three decades of experience in the CCS market.
"This
project is a testament to important public and private collaboration to build
an industrial value chain for carbon capture and storage.
"The project will also
significantly contribute to reducing emissions and will create value for both
industry and society.”
“Standardisation and
modularisation play a key role in shifting the economics of carbon capture
projects,” said Egil Fagerland, chief executive officer, SLB Capturi.
“We are
extremely proud of our collaboration with Hafslund and Aker Solutions to align
our Just Catch plant design with the techno-economic requirements of this
project to help make it a reality. We look forward to delivering this flagship
project as a successful blueprint for industrial decarbonisation projects in
Norway and across the globe.”
Martin S. Lundby, managing director at Hafslund Celsio, said: “We are proud to have Aker
Solutions and SLB Capturi with us to realise this major industrial project. It
provides security and strength to collaborate with strong partners who have
experience from carbon capture and storage from the Longship project, and who
bring extensive experience and expertise gained through large industrial
developments both in Norway and abroad.
"Together, we will build a capture plant
that will be operational by the fall of 2029.”
The project will start in the
first quarter of 2025 and is expected to be completed by 2029. The contract has
a balanced risk-reward profile with aligned incentives for efficient and safe
delivery. The contract will be booked as order intake in the first quarter of
2025 in the renewables and field development segment.
