EPC awarded for world’s first CCS at waste to energy plant in Norway

CCUS

Norway – Hafslund Oslo Celsio has awarded Technip Energies a sizable Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract for a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at a waste to energy facility in Norway.

The project will be the first complete waste-to-energy facility with CO2 capture in the entire world. Oslo’s emissions will be reduced by 17% thanks to the annual capture of 400,000 tons of CO2, which is the same as the emissions from about 200,000 cars. The CO2 will then be liquefied as part of the Longship project and exported to Northern Lights, which is the first international, open-source infrastructure network for CO2 transport and storage. The Shell CANSOLV CO2 Capture System, an amine-based technology, will be used by the carbon capture plant to capture CO2 from the flue gas.

Close collaboration

With the conclusion of the design competition, the successful delivery and testing of a pilot unit, and ongoing cooperation between Technip Energies and Hafslund Oslo Celsio to improve project economics, several years of a shared journey have culminated in the awarding of this EPC contract. This affordable solution was created, tested, and demonstrated thanks to close collaboration and co-development with the owner, T.EN, and the technology provider.
