Aker Carbon Capture has announced that SLB Capturi, in collaboration with Aker Solutions, has been awarded an engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning 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 CC 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 the port of Oslo, from where the CO2 will be transported to the Northern Lights permanent storage facility on the Norwegian continental shelf. When operational, which is anticipated for Q3 2029, the 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 optimisation. Reportedly, it was an innovative capture technology design that enabled the project to move forward. It will be delivered based on SLB Capturi’s modularised Just Catch 400 unit.
Aker’s first modular carbon capture plant
In the same week Aker announced that SLB Capturi had completed commissioning of its first modular carbon capture plant. It has been handed over to Twence’s waste-to-energy facility in Hengelo, Netherlands and is based on SLB Capturi’s standard, modular Just Catch design. The captured CO2 will be used in applications for the horticulture and food and beverage sectors.
SLB Capturi is a joint venture of SLB and ACC ASA, aiming to combine their capabilities to accelerate industrial decarbonisation at a global scale. SLB owns 80% of SLB Capturi, while ACC ASA owns the remaining 20% stake.
