The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump systems for 2 LNG fuelled carriers that will transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage facilities in Norway.

Northern Lights is growing infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and other 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 beneath the seabed.
เกจ์วัดแรงดันแก๊ส are being built at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are anticipated to be operational in 2024. Both vessels could have a capacity of 7,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will ship two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for each ship. In this project, Svanehøj’s multigas expertise shall be proven to its full potential, as the buyer wants the pumps to also be used to dealing with LPG natural gasoline. Over the years, Svanehøj has supplied cargo pump systems to more than 1,a hundred LPG tankers around the world.
“We have won the order through our long-standing associate, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers complete cargo dealing with systems for the CO2 carriers,” stated Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gasoline pumps, which they are very conversant in from quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers because the late Nineties.
“Thanks to our expertise from the comparatively few CO2 ships built so far, we’re part of the dialogue on a number of of the upcoming CCS (carbon capture & Storage) tasks. CCS is a spotlight space in our business strategy, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is subsequently of nice strategic significance. This could be a giant market for us inside the subsequent few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj began 2022 with a new “Powering a better future” technique and a target of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the top of 2026.
