The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to provide pump systems for 2 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 developing infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and different European countries 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 underneath the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being constructed at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are anticipated to be operational in 2024. เกจวัดแก๊สหุงต้ม could have a capability 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 expertise will be proven to its full potential, because the buyer 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 around the globe.
“We have received the order via our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo dealing with techniques for the CO2 carriers,” stated Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gasoline pumps, which they’re very conversant in from numerous LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers because the late Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the relatively few CO2 ships built so far, we’re part of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) initiatives. CCS is a spotlight area in our business strategy, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is subsequently of nice strategic significance. This could be a giant marketplace for us within the subsequent few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj started 2022 with a brand new “Powering a greater 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 centered on supporting the transition to climate-neutral shipping, but in addition on investing in new business areas, together with CCS.
