The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to supply pump methods for two LNG fuelled carriers that will transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage facilities in Norway.
2021 has been a record yr for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is creating infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and different European nations 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 beneath 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 could have a capability of seven,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will deliver two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for each ship. In this challenge, Svanehøj’s multigas know-how might be shown to its full potential, because the customer desires the pumps to even be used to handling LPG natural gas. Over the years, Svanehøj has equipped cargo pump techniques to greater than 1,one hundred LPG tankers all over the world.
“We have received the order via our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers complete cargo handling systems 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 acquainted with from quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump methods for CO2 carriers for the explanation that late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the relatively few CO2 ships constructed so far, we are part of the dialogue on a number of of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) initiatives. Simple as ABC is a focus space in our business technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is subsequently of nice strategic importance. This might be a big marketplace for us throughout 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 strategy is primarily centered on supporting the transition to climate-neutral transport, but also on investing in new business areas, together with CCS.
