The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump techniques for 2 LNG fuelled carriers that will transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage services in Norway.
2021 has been a document yr 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 beneath the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being constructed 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 ship two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for every ship. In this challenge, Svanehøj’s multigas expertise 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 supplied cargo pump techniques to more than 1,a hundred LPG tankers around the globe.
“ spmk700 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 fuel pumps, which they’re very familiar with from quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers because the late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the relatively few CO2 ships constructed so far, we’re a part of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) projects. CCS is a focus space in our business technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is due to this fact of great strategic significance. This might be an enormous market for us throughout the subsequent few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj began 2022 with a new “Powering a better future” technique and a target 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 transport, but also on investing in new business areas, together with CCS.
