Aker Carbon Capture ASA announces that SLB Capturi and Aker Solutions win contract to deliver carbon capture solution for Hafslund Celsio
FORNEBU, Norway, Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aker Carbon Capture (ACC ASA) today announced that SLB Capturi, in collaboration with Aker Solutions, has been awarded an engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) contract from Hafslund Celsio AS to deliver a carbon capture solution at their waste-to-energy facility at Klemetsrud, Oslo.
Hafslund Celsio is Norway's largest district heating supplier and the owner and operator of Norway's largest waste-to-energy plant. Hafslund Celsio's carbon capture project is part of Longship, the Norwegian Government's full value-chain carbon capture and storage project.
The contract award includes delivery of a carbon capture plant, liquefaction system, temporary storage, and loading facility at the waste incineration site. It also includes an intermediate CO2 storage and ship loading system at Oslo harbor, from where the CO2 will be transported to the Northern Lights permanent storage facility on the Norwegian continental shelf. When operational, which is anticipated by third quarter, 2029, the carbon capture plant is expected to capture 350,000 metric tons of CO2 annually.
The EPCIC award follows a cost reduction phase for Hafslund Celsio's project, which identified opportunities for efficiencies, including layout optimization. Innovative capture technology design enables the project to move forward. The project will now be delivered based on SLB Capturi's modularized Just Catch 400 unit. The space-efficient Just Catch design has been fundamental to enabling a viable, cost-effective solution by reducing onsite footprint, installation, and outfitting work.
