The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump techniques for 2 LNG fuelled carriers that may transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage amenities in Norway.
2021 has been a report 12 months for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is developing infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and different European countries by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, earlier than being transported by pipeline for everlasting storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m beneath the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being constructed at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are expected to be operational in 2024. เพรสเชอร์เกจวัดแรงดันน้ำ could have a capability of 7,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will deliver two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for every ship. In this venture, Svanehøj’s multigas expertise shall be shown to its full potential, as the buyer needs the pumps to also be used to handling LPG natural gasoline. Over the years, Svanehøj has provided cargo pump systems to more than 1,100 LPG tankers around the globe.
“We have received the order by way of our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo handling techniques for the CO2 carriers,” mentioned Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gasoline pumps, which they are very familiar with from quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers since the late 1990s.
“Thanks to our expertise from the relatively few CO2 ships constructed so far, we are a half of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon capture & Storage) tasks. CCS is a focus space in our enterprise strategy, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is therefore of nice strategic significance. This might be a big marketplace for us within the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj started 2022 with a new “Powering a better future” strategy and a goal of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the tip of 2026. The technique is primarily centered on supporting the transition to climate-neutral delivery, but also on investing in new business areas, including CCS.
