SLB Capturi & Aker Solutions Secure Carbon Capture Contract for Oslo Waste-to-Energy Plant
SLB has announced that SLB Capturi, in partnership with Aker Solutions, has secured an engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) contract from Hafslund Celsio AS.
This contract involves delivering a carbon capture solution at Hafslund Celsio’s waste-to-energy facility in Klemetsrud, Oslo. As Norway’s largest district heating provider and operator of the country’s biggest waste-to-energy plant, Hafslund Celsio is undertaking this project as part of Longship, the Norwegian government’s full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiative.
The scope of the contract includes the installation of a carbon capture plant, a liquefaction system, temporary storage, and a loading facility at the incineration site. Additionally, it covers the development of an intermediate CO2 storage and ship-loading system at Oslo Harbor, facilitating the transport of captured carbon to the Northern Lights permanent storage site on the Norwegian continental shelf. Once operational, the facility is projected to capture 350,000 metric tons of CO2 per year.
The EPCIC contract follows a cost-optimization phase that identified efficiency improvements, such as layout enhancements. The project will be executed using SLB Capturi’s modular Just Catch™ 400 unit, which offers a space-efficient design to minimize onsite footprint, installation time, and outfitting efforts.
“Standardization and modularization are key to improving the economics of carbon capture projects,” said Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi. “We are proud to collaborate with Hafslund Celsio and Aker Solutions to align our Just Catch plant with the project’s technical and economic needs. This initiative will serve as a model for industrial decarbonization efforts in Norway and beyond.”
This marks the second carbon capture facility within the Longship project, where SLB Capturi is also involved in delivering a similar system at Heidelberg Materials’ cement plant in Brevik, in partnership with Aker Solutions.
Kjetel Digre, CEO of Aker Solutions, emphasized the project’s significance, stating, “Today represents a major step forward for Aker Solutions and the CCS industry in Norway. We are honored to contribute to this critical initiative, leveraging our decades of experience in CCS. This project underscores the value of public-private collaboration in building a sustainable carbon capture and storage value chain, reducing emissions, and benefiting both industry and society.”
Hafslund Celsio’s CEO, Martin S. Lundby, also expressed confidence in the partnership, stating, “We are delighted to collaborate with Aker Solutions and SLB Capturi on this transformative project. Their extensive expertise in CCS, particularly from the Longship initiative, strengthens our ability to execute this development successfully. Together, we aim to have the carbon capture facility operational by the third quarter of 2029.”
