SLB Capturi and Aker Solutions have secured a significant EPCIC contract from Hafslund Celsio for a carbon capture facility in Oslo, Norway. The project aims to capture 350,000 metric tons of CO2 annually from Norway’s largest waste-to-energy plant.
Key Project Details
The carbon capture solution includes:
- A modular Just Catch 400 capture unit
- CO2 liquefaction system
- Temporary storage facilities
- Loading infrastructure at the waste incineration site
- Intermediate storage and ship loading system at Oslo harbor
The captured CO2 will be transported to the Northern Lights permanent storage facility on the Norwegian continental shelf. The project, part of the Norwegian government’s Longship CCS initiative, is scheduled to begin operations in Q3 2029.
Technical Innovation and Cost Efficiency
SLB Capturi’s Just Catch 400 unit features:
- Space-efficient modular design
- Minimized installation requirements
- Reduced on-site footprint
- Optimized layout for cost effectiveness
“Standardization and modularization play a key role in shifting the economics of carbon capture projects,” said Egil Fagerland, CEO at SLB Capturi.
Project Impact and Collaboration
The partnership brings together:
- Hafslund Celsio – Norway’s largest district heating supplier
- SLB Capturi – A joint venture of SLB and Aker Carbon Capture
- Aker Solutions – Engineering and construction expertise
“This project demonstrates successful public-private collaboration in building an industrial value chain for carbon capture and storage,” noted Kjetel Digre, CEO of Aker Solutions.
Industry Experience
SLB Capturi is currently implementing a similar carbon capture solution at Heidelberg Materials’ cement facility in Brevik, working alongside Aker Solutions. This experience strengthens their capability to deliver industrial decarbonization projects globally.
Environmental Impact
The project represents a significant step forward in Norway’s industrial decarbonization efforts. By implementing advanced carbon capture technology at a major waste-to-energy facility, it demonstrates the viability of large-scale emissions reduction in urban infrastructure. The initiative not only enhances the sustainability of waste management operations but also establishes a complete carbon capture and storage value chain that can serve as a model for similar projects worldwide. This comprehensive approach to emissions management showcases how industrial processes can be adapted to meet ambitious climate goals while maintaining operational efficiency.
