The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to supply 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.
เพชเชอร์เกจ is growing 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, 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. Both vessels may have a capacity 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 technology might be shown to its full potential, because the buyer wants the pumps to even be used to dealing with LPG pure gas. Over the years, Svanehøj has provided cargo pump methods to more than 1,100 LPG tankers all over the world.
“We have gained the order through our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers complete cargo dealing with methods for the CO2 carriers,” mentioned 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 quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers for the rationale that late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our expertise from the relatively few CO2 ships constructed thus far, we are a part of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) initiatives. CCS is a focus space in our enterprise 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 within the next 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 top of 2026. The technique is primarily focused on supporting the transition to climate-neutral shipping, but also on investing in new enterprise areas, together with CCS.
