The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to provide pump techniques for two LNG fuelled carriers that will transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage amenities in Norway.
2021 has been a document 12 months for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is growing 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 everlasting storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m underneath the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being built at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are expected to be operational in 2024. Both vessels could have a capacity of 7,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will deliver two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for every ship. In this project, Svanehøj’s multigas know-how shall be shown to its full potential, because the buyer wants the pumps to even be used to handling LPG natural gasoline. Over the years, Svanehøj has provided cargo pump techniques to greater than 1,a hundred LPG tankers around the globe.
“We have received the order through our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers complete cargo handling techniques 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 quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump methods for CO2 carriers since the late 1990s.
“Thanks to our expertise from the comparatively few CO2 ships constructed thus far, we’re part of the dialogue on a number of of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) tasks. CCS is a focus space in our business strategy, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is therefore of nice strategic importance. This could probably be a big market for us inside the subsequent few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj began 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 tip of 2026. digital pressure gauge is primarily centered on supporting the transition to climate-neutral shipping, but also on investing in new enterprise areas, together with CCS.
