The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump techniques for 2 LNG fuelled carriers that can transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage services in Norway.
2021 has been a record year for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is creating infrastructure to move CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and other 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 constructed at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are anticipated to be operational in 2024. ส่วนประกอบpressuregauge will have a capability of 7,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will ship two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for every ship. In this venture, Svanehøj’s multigas know-how might be shown to its full potential, because the customer desires the pumps to even be used to dealing with LPG natural fuel. Over the years, Svanehøj has provided cargo pump systems to greater than 1,one hundred LPG tankers all over the world.
“We have gained the order via our long-standing companion, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers complete cargo dealing with 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 are very acquainted with from numerous LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump systems for CO2 carriers for the rationale that late Nineties.
“Thanks to our expertise from the relatively few CO2 ships built so far, we’re a half of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) projects. CCS is a focus area in our enterprise technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is subsequently of great strategic significance. This could presumably be a giant marketplace for us inside the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj began 2022 with a new “Powering a greater future” technique and a goal of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the end of 2026. The strategy is primarily centered on supporting the transition to climate-neutral shipping, but in addition on investing in new enterprise areas, together with CCS.
