The contract award includes delivery of a carbon capture plant, liquefaction system, temporary storage, and a loading facility at the waste incineration site. It also includes an intermediate CO₂ storage and ship loading system at Oslo harbor, from where the CO₂ will be transported to the Northern Lights permanent storage facility on the Norwegian continental shelf. When operational, the carbon capture plant is expected to capture 350,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually.

The EPCIC award follows a cost reduction phase for Hafslund Celsio’s project, which identified opportunities for efficiencies, including layout optimization. The project will now be delivered based on SLB Capturi’s modularized Just Catch™ 400 unit. The space-efficient Just Catch design has been fundamental to enabling a viable, cost-effective solution by reducing onsite footprint, installation, and outfitting work.

“Standardization and modularization play a key role in shifting the economics of carbon capture projects,” said Egil Fagerland, chief executive officer, SLB Capturi. “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. We look forward to delivering this flagship project as a successful blueprint for industrial decarbonization projects in Norway and across the globe.”

Hafslund Celsio’s project is the second carbon capture plant in Longship, where SLB Capturi is already delivering the carbon capture plant at Heidelberg Materials’ cement facility 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 key project and look forward to contributing with our effective project execution, based on three decades of experience in the CCS market. This project is a testament to important public and private collaboration to build an industrial value chain for carbon capture and storage. The project will also significantly contribute to reducing emissions and will create value for both industry and society,” said Kjetel Digre, CEO for Aker Solutions.

"We are pleased to have Aker Solutions and SLB Capturi collaborating with us on this significant industrial project," stated Martin S. Lundby, chief executive officer at Hafslund Celsio. "Working with reputable partners who possess extensive experience in carbon capture and storage from the Longship project provides us with security and strength. Our partners bring valuable expertise from large industrial developments both in Norway and internationally. Together, we will construct a carbon capture solution that is expected to be operational by third quarter 2029."
