A Leap Forward in Norway’s Carbon Capture Journey: SLB and Aker Solutions’ Modular Plant at Hafslund Celsio
In a significant stride towards reducing Norway’s carbon footprint, SLB and Aker Solutions have recently secured a key contract to deploy a modular carbon capture plant at Hafslund Celsio’s Oslo facility. This development is an essential milestone in Norway’s Longship CCS project, which aims to capture and store approximately 4 million tons of CO2 annually by 2022.
The Power of Collaboration: SLB and Aker Solutions
SLB, a leading provider of technology for oil and gas exploration, and Aker Solutions, a global engineering and technology company, have joined forces to create a carbon capture and storage (CCS) solution that is both efficient and cost-effective. The plant will be designed using SLB’s proprietary CO2 capture technology and Aker Solutions’ modularization expertise.
The Oslo Facility: A Pioneer in Carbon Capture
Hafslund Celsio, a Norwegian district heating company, will host this pioneering project at its Oslo facility. The plant is expected to capture CO2 emissions from the facility’s natural gas-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant and store it in underground geological formations. This collaboration marks a crucial step towards making Norway’s capital city carbon neutral.
Impact on the Local Community: Reducing Emissions and Creating Jobs
For the residents of Oslo, this development means a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from their local energy facility. Additionally, the project is expected to create over 100 new jobs during the construction phase. These opportunities will provide a much-needed boost to the local economy.
Worldwide Implications: A Step Towards Global Carbon Neutrality
Beyond Norway, this project sets a precedent for other countries looking to reduce their carbon emissions. The modular design of the plant allows for easy replication and implementation in various locations worldwide. Furthermore, the successful deployment of this technology could pave the way for more large-scale CCS projects, bringing us closer to a global carbon neutral future.
Conclusion: A Team Effort Towards a Greener Future
The partnership between SLB, Aker Solutions, and Hafslund Celsio marks a crucial step forward in Norway’s Longship CCS project. This collaboration not only demonstrates the power of innovation and collaboration but also highlights the importance of investing in clean energy solutions. With this modular carbon capture plant at Hafslund Celsio’s Oslo facility, we take a significant stride towards a greener future, both locally and globally.
