Statkraft has entered into study contracts with three suppliers of CO2 capture systems
In connection with the work on realizing CO2 capture in Trondheim, three suppliers have now been selected to proceed to an early-phase study of the project, named “pre-FEED”.
Statkraft has an ongoing long-term project where the possibility of maturing and later realizing full-scale CO2 capture at Statkraft's waste incineration plant in Trondheim by 2030 is being considered. Rambøll has been engaged to follow up on the studies and other related issues.
Statkraft received offers from numerous suppliers but recently decided to engage further with the following companies:
"At the same time, we must point out that Statkraft cannot proceed with the realization of CO2 capture in Trondheim until the necessary framework conditions are in place."
The Pre-FEED studies will be completed around autumn this year. By then, the selected companies will develop and present conceptually how they will design a CO2 capture facility at Heimdal. The focus will be on environmental and safety aspects, design, and development of a robust cost estimate. Once the studies are ready, Statkraft will have a decision basis to proceed to the next, and final, phase of the project before making a potential investment decision in 2027.
–These early-phase studies are important, and it will be good to get started, says Bjørn Hølaas, Director CCS at Statkraft. –At the same time, we must point out that Statkraft cannot proceed with the realization of CO2 capture in Trondheim until the necessary framework conditions are in place, he says.
**This project is a partnership between Worley, a global professional services company of energy experts, and MHI Group. Worley and MHI Group will implement the basic design of the CO2 capture plant using CO2 capture technology from MHI Group.
