Svanehøj pumps chosen for Northern Lights CO2 carriers

The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump methods for two LNG fuelled carriers that can transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage amenities in Norway.
2021 has been a document yr for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is developing 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, earlier than being transported by pipeline for everlasting storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m under the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being built at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are anticipated to be operational in 2024. Both vessels will have a capacity of 7,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will deliver two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for each ship. In this project, Svanehøj’s multigas technology shall be proven to its full potential, because the customer desires the pumps to also be used to handling LPG natural gasoline. Over the years, Svanehøj has provided cargo pump methods to more than 1,100 LPG tankers around the globe.
“We have gained the order via our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo dealing with systems for the CO2 carriers,” said Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gas pumps, which they’re very acquainted with from numerous LPG tankers.”

Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump systems for CO2 carriers because the late Nineties.
“Thanks to our expertise from the comparatively few CO2 ships built so far, we are part of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) initiatives. CCS is a focus area in our business technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is therefore of nice strategic significance. ไดอะแฟรม might be a big marketplace for us inside the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj started 2022 with a model new “Powering a greater future” technique and a goal of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the top of 2026.
