Ørsted Kalundborg CCS
Aker Carbon Capture has been awarded a large-scale carbon capture project by Ørsted, a global leader in renewable energy, for its Ørsted Kalundborg Hub in Denmark. As the carbon capture provider, Aker Carbon Capture will deliver five Just Catch units, additional equipment such as liquefaction systems, and temporary CO2 storage and on-/offloading facilities with an expected total contract value above EUR 200 million. The carbon capture facilities will be delivered to Ørsted’s wood chip-fired Asnæs Power Station and the Avedøre Power Station’s straw-fired boiler.
- Year: 2023 – ongoing
- CO₂ capture capacity: 500.000 TPA
Brevik CCS
Aker Carbon Capture has worked together with Heidelberg Norcem and partners in developing a full-scale CO₂ capture, conditioning, compression, heat integration, intermediate storage and loading facility for the Brevik cement plant. The capacity of the carbon capture facility corresponds to approximately half of the annual CO₂ emissions from the Brevik plant. CO₂ is to be captured from the flue gases of the cement kiln using waste heat recovered from the cement plant and the CO₂ compression plant through a proprietary heat integration technology.
- Year: 2020 – 2024 (ongoing)
- CO₂ capture capacity: 400.000 TPA
Twence CCU
Aker Carbon Capture was awarded a delivery contract for a CO₂ capture and liquefaction facility for waste-to-energy plant in the Netherlands. The produced CO₂ will be of Food Grade quality in order to transport the CO₂ to nearby greenhouses where it is to be used to increase the yield of flowers and vegetables. Aker Carbon Capture will deliver its Just Catch™ modular capture plant which is a standardized, compact carbon capture facility. The plant comprises of three process containers and one E&I container for local control. Containers and associated external piping and structures will be prefabricated at a yard, and transported by truck to the actual site. The columns, fan and steam reboiler will be delivered directly to site for easy hook-up with the containers. The plant will be fully automated and is based on the Advanced Carbon Capture (ACC™) Process with the proprietary, best in class HSE solvent.
The Just Catch™ is characterized by short delivery time, low cost and low required footprint. The plant is currently scheduled to be delivered late 2023.
- Year: 2023 – ongoing
- CO₂ capture capacity: 100.000 TPA
Preem refinery
Preem and Aker Carbon Capture has been working with SINTEF, Chalmers and Equinor at the Lysekil Refinery in Sweden piloting capture from a Steam Methane Refiner (SMR) hydrogen production unit. Aker Carbon Capture is performing a nearly one-year test program on the flue gas as well as developing a feasibility study for a 400 000 capture unit. The project is one of Preem transition projects for their business in Scandinavia.
- Year: 2020
- CO₂ capture capacity: ~600.000 TPA
Full-scale carbon capture at Mongstad Technology Centre (TCM)
Design and EPC delivery of large-scale carbon capture plant at TCM. This full-scale CO₂ capture plant captures CO₂ from the gas fired combined heat and power plant at the Mongstad refinery. It is the world’s largest and most flexible plant for testing and improving carbon capture technologies. Aker Carbon Capture has not only tested its technology at the TCM facility, but has also designed and delivered the actual plant which has been in continuous operation since its opening in 2012. TCM is being used by companies and scientific communities from all over the world to develop and improve carbon capture solutions.
