The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce 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 record 12 months for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is developing infrastructure to move 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 permanent storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m underneath 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 will 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 project, Svanehøj’s multigas know-how might be proven 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 systems to greater than 1,100 LPG tankers all over the world.
“We have gained the order via our long-standing associate, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers complete cargo dealing with systems for the CO2 carriers,” stated Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen pressure gauge ออก หลัง , which they are very acquainted with from quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump methods for CO2 carriers because the late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our expertise from the comparatively few CO2 ships constructed thus far, we’re part of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon capture & Storage) tasks. CCS is a spotlight area in our enterprise strategy, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is subsequently of nice strategic importance. This could possibly be a giant marketplace for us inside the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj began 2022 with a model new “Powering a greater 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 transport, but in addition on investing in new business areas, together with CCS.
