Aker Solutions and SLB Capturi: Pioneering Carbon Capture in Norway

In a significant step towards Norway's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Aker Solutions and SLB Capturi have been awarded a contract to deliver a carbon capture solution for Hafslund Celsio's waste-to-energy facility in Klemetsrud, Oslo. This project, part of the Longship initiative, is set to capture and store 350,000 metric tons of CO2 annually, marking a substantial contribution to Norway's decarbonization efforts.

The contract, awarded following a cost reduction phase, will be delivered based on SLB Capturi's modularized Just Catch™ 400 unit. This space-efficient design reduces onsite footprint, installation, and outfitting work, making the project more cost-effective and viable. Egil Fagerland, chief executive officer of SLB Capturi, emphasized the importance of standardization and modularization in shifting the economics of carbon capture projects, stating, "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."

This project is the second carbon capture plant in the Longship initiative, where SLB Capturi is already delivering the carbon capture plant at Heidelberg Materials' cement facility in Brevik in collaboration with Aker Solutions. Kjetel Digre, CEO for Aker Solutions, expressed pride in being part of this key project, highlighting the importance of public-private collaboration in building an industrial value chain for carbon capture and storage. Martin S. Lundby, chief executive officer at Hafslund Celsio, emphasized the security and strength provided by working with reputable partners with extensive experience in carbon capture and storage.
