The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to provide pump systems for two LNG fuelled carriers that may transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage facilities in Norway.
2021 has been a document year for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is creating infrastructure to move CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and other European nations 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 under 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 seven,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will deliver two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for every ship. In this venture, Svanehøj’s multigas expertise will be proven to its full potential, because the buyer wants the pumps to also be used to handling LPG pure gasoline. Over the years, Svanehøj has equipped cargo pump methods to more than 1,one hundred LPG tankers around the globe.
“We have received the order through our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo dealing with systems for the CO2 carriers,” stated Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, gross sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gas pumps, which they are very familiar with from numerous LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying เกจ์วัดแรงดันลม for CO2 carriers for the reason that late 1990s.
“Thanks to our experience from the comparatively few CO2 ships constructed so far, we are part of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) tasks. CCS is a focus area in our enterprise technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is due to this fact of great strategic importance. This might be a giant market for us throughout the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj started 2022 with a brand new “Powering a better future” strategy and a target of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the tip of 2026. The strategy is primarily targeted on supporting the transition to climate-neutral delivery, but also on investing in new enterprise areas, together with CCS.
