The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump methods for two LNG fuelled carriers that can transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage facilities 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 built at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are expected to be operational in 2024. Both vessels will 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 project, Svanehøj’s multigas technology might be proven to its full potential, as the buyer wants the pumps to also be used to dealing with LPG natural fuel. Over the years, Svanehøj has supplied cargo pump systems to more than 1,100 LPG tankers around the world.
“We have won the order by way of our long-standing associate, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers complete cargo dealing with methods for the CO2 carriers,” said Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen pressure gauge หน้าปัด 4 นิ้ว , which they’re very conversant in from quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump methods for CO2 carriers for the rationale that late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the relatively few CO2 ships built thus far, we are a part of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon capture & Storage) initiatives. CCS is a spotlight area in our enterprise strategy, 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 inside the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj began 2022 with a brand new “Powering a greater future” technique and a goal of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the tip of 2026. The strategy is primarily focused on supporting the transition to climate-neutral shipping, but also on investing in new enterprise areas, including CCS.
