The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to provide pump methods for two 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 creating infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and different European international locations 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 under the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being built at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are anticipated to be operational in 2024. เพชเชอร์เกจ may have a capability of seven,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will ship two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for each ship. In this project, Svanehøj’s multigas expertise might be shown to its full potential, because the customer wants the pumps to also be used to handling LPG natural gas. Over the years, Svanehøj has provided cargo pump systems to greater than 1,a hundred LPG tankers around the world.
“We have gained the order via our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo handling systems 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 for the reason that late Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the relatively few CO2 ships constructed thus far, we are part of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon capture & Storage) projects. CCS is a focus area in our business strategy, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is therefore of great strategic significance. This could be an enormous market for us within the subsequent 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 top of 2026. The technique is primarily centered on supporting the transition to climate-neutral shipping, but in addition on investing in new business areas, including CCS.
