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 services in Norway.
2021 has been a record 12 months for Svanehøj.
เพรสเชอร์เกจ is developing infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and other European international locations 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 under the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being constructed at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are anticipated to be operational in 2024. เพรสเชอร์เกจ could have a capability of 7,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will deliver two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for each ship. In this venture, Svanehøj’s multigas know-how will be shown to its full potential, because the customer desires the pumps to also be used to dealing with LPG pure gas. Over the years, Svanehøj has provided cargo pump techniques to more than 1,one hundred LPG tankers all over the world.
“We have received the order through our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers complete cargo handling methods for the CO2 carriers,” said Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo fuel pumps, which they are very familiar with from numerous LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump systems for CO2 carriers since the late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the relatively few CO2 ships built thus far, we are a part of the dialogue on a quantity of of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) projects. CCS is a focus space in our enterprise technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is subsequently of nice strategic significance. This might be a giant marketplace for us within the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj started 2022 with a new “Powering a better future” technique 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 additionally on investing in new business areas, including CCS.
