The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump techniques for 2 LNG fuelled carriers that may transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage services in Norway.
2021 has been a report yr for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is growing 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 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 could have a capacity of seven,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will deliver เกจวัดแรงดันลม10bar of for each ship. In this challenge, Svanehøj’s multigas know-how shall be proven to its full potential, as the customer wants the pumps to even be used to handling LPG pure fuel. Over the years, Svanehøj has supplied cargo pump techniques to more than 1,100 LPG tankers all over the world.
“We have gained the order via our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo dealing with methods for the CO2 carriers,” mentioned Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo fuel pumps, which they’re very familiar with from quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump systems for CO2 carriers for the explanation that late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the comparatively few CO2 ships constructed so far, we are a part of the dialogue on a quantity of of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) initiatives. CCS is a spotlight area in our business technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is subsequently of great strategic importance. This could presumably be a giant marketplace for us within 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 centered on supporting the transition to climate-neutral transport, but in addition on investing in new enterprise areas, together with CCS.
