The waste-to-energy facility in Klemetsrud, Oslo will soon receive a carbon capture solution delivered by Aker Solution and SLB Capturi. This delivery will be completed as part of the Longship project.

Within the contract it is stated that the delivery will include ‘a carbon capture plant, liquefaction system, temporary storage, and a loading facility at the waste incineration site.’ On top of this, it will also include an intermediate CO2 storage and ship loading system, which will be located at Oslo harbour. This location is where the carbon dioxide will be collected from in order to transport it to the permanent storage facility, Northern Lights, on the Norwegian continental shelf. Once this equipment becomes operational, the expectation for the facility is that it will be able to capture 350,000 metric tons of CO2 per year.

The cost reduction phase for Hafslund Celsio’s project helped to identify opportunities for efficiencies, including layout optimisation and it was followed by the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) award. From here, the project is now due to be delivered based on SLB Capturi’s modularized Just Catch™ 400 unit. It is clear that the space-efficient Just Catch design has played a fundamental role in enabling a viable, cost-effective solution. This solution has been shown through the system reducing onsite footprint, installation and finally, outfitting work.

Chief executive officer at Hafslund Celsio, Martin S. Lundby, commented, "We are pleased to have Aker Solutions and SLB Capturi collaborating with us on this significant industrial project. Working with reputable partners who possess extensive experience in carbon capture and storage from the Longship project provides us with security and strength. Our partners bring valuable expertise from large industrial developments both in Norway and internationally. Together, we will construct a carbon capture solution that is expected to be operational by third quarter 2029."

Chief executive officer, SLB Capturi, Egil Fagerland, added, “Standardization and modularization play a key role in shifting the economics of carbon capture projects. We are extremely proud of our collaboration with Hafslund Celsio and Aker Solutions to align our Just Catch plant design with the techno-economic requirements of this project to help make it a reality. We look forward to delivering this flagship project as a successful blueprint for industrial decarbonization projects in Norway and across the globe.”

CEO for Aker Solutions, Kjetel Digre, stated, “Today marks a significant milestone for Aker Solutions and the CCS industry in Norway. We are proud to be part of this key project and look forward to contributing with our effective project execution, based on three decades of experience in the CCS market. This project is a testament to important public and private collaboration to build an industrial value chain for carbon capture and storage. The project will also significantly contribute to reducing emissions and will create value for both industry and society.”
