The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump systems for 2 LNG fuelled carriers that may transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage amenities in Norway.
2021 has been a document year 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 everlasting 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 ship two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for every ship. In this project, Svanehøj’s multigas know-how might be shown to its full potential, as the buyer desires the pumps to even be used to handling LPG pure gasoline. Over the years, Svanehøj has supplied cargo pump techniques to greater than 1,a hundred LPG tankers all over the world.
“We have received the order through our long-standing associate, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo dealing with techniques for the CO2 carriers,” mentioned Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gas pumps, which they’re very acquainted with from numerous LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying pressure gauge น้ำ for CO2 carriers for the rationale that late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the comparatively few CO2 ships built thus far, we are a part of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) initiatives. CCS is a spotlight space in our enterprise technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is therefore of nice strategic importance. This could be an enormous market for us within the subsequent few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj began 2022 with a new “Powering a better future” strategy and a goal of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the top of 2026. The strategy is primarily focused on supporting the transition to climate-neutral transport, but also on investing in new enterprise areas, including CCS.
