SLB today announced that SLB Capturi, in collaboration with Aker Solutions, has been awarded an engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) contract by Hafslund Celsio AS to provide a carbon capture solution at its waste-to-energy facility in Klemetsrud, Oslo. Hafslund Celsio is Norway’s largest district heating supplier and the owner and operator of Norway’s largest waste-to-energy plant. Hafslund Celsio’s carbon capture project is part of Longship , the Norwegian government’s full-value chain carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.

The contract award includes the supply of a carbon capture plant, liquefaction system, interim storage and a loading facility at the waste incineration site. It also includes an interim CO2 storage and ship loading system at the Port of Oslo, from where the CO2 will be transported to the permanent storage facility Northern Lights on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Once operational, the carbon capture plant is expected to capture 350,000 metric tons of CO2 per year.

The EPCIC award follows a phase of cost reduction for the Hafslund Celsio project, which identified opportunities for efficiency, including layout optimization. The project will now be delivered based on SLB Capturi’s modularized Just Catch™ 400 unit. Just Catch’s space-saving design was key to enabling a viable and cost-effective solution, reducing site footprint, installation and equipment work.

“ Standardization and modularization play a key role in transforming the economics of carbon capture projects,” said Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi. “ We are extremely proud of our collaboration with Hafslund Celsio and Aker Solutions to align the design of our Just Catch plant with the techno-economic requirements of this project and help make it a reality. We look forward to delivering this flagship project as a successful model for industrial decarbonization initiatives in Norway and around the world.”

The Hafslund Celsio project is the second carbon capture plant at Longship, where SLB Capturi is already supplying the carbon capture plant at Heidelberg Materials’ cement plant in Brevik in collaboration with Aker Solutions.

“ Today marks a significant milestone for Aker Solutions and the CCS industry in Norway. We are proud to be part of this pivotal project and look forward to contributing to our effective execution, based on three decades of experience in the CCS market. This project is a testament to the important collaboration between the public and private sectors to build an industrial value chain for carbon capture and storage. The project will also contribute significantly to reducing emissions and create value for both industry and society,” said Kjetel Digre, CEO of Aker Solutions.

“ We are pleased to have Aker Solutions and SLB Capturi collaborating with us on this important industrial project,” said Martin S. Lundby, CEO of Hafslund Celsio. “ Working with renowned partners who have extensive experience in carbon capture and storage, as demonstrated in the Longship project, gives us security and strength. Our partners bring valuable knowledge from major industrial developments, both in Norway and internationally. Together, we will build a carbon capture solution that is expected to be operational by the third quarter of 2029.”
