The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump systems for 2 LNG fuelled carriers that can transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage facilities in Norway.
2021 has been a record yr for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is creating infrastructure to move CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and different European countries by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, before being transported by pipeline for permanent storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m underneath the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being built at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are anticipated to be operational in 2024. Both vessels will have a capability of seven,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will ship เพรสเชอร์เกจ of for every ship. In this challenge, Svanehøj’s multigas technology might be proven to its full potential, as the buyer needs the pumps to even be used to handling LPG natural gasoline. Over the years, Svanehøj has provided cargo pump techniques to more than 1,a hundred LPG tankers all over the world.
“We have won the order through our long-standing companion, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo handling methods for the CO2 carriers,” said Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, gross sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gas pumps, which they’re very familiar with from quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers for the reason that late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the comparatively few CO2 ships constructed thus far, we are part of the dialogue on a quantity of of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) initiatives. CCS is a focus space in our business strategy, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is due to this fact of nice strategic importance. This might be a big marketplace for us inside the subsequent few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj started 2022 with a new “Powering a greater future” strategy and a goal of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the tip of 2026. The strategy is primarily targeted on supporting the transition to climate-neutral delivery, but in addition on investing in new enterprise areas, together with CCS.
