Large EPC Contract Given to Technip Energies by Hafslund Oslo Celsio

Hafslund Oslo Celsio, the largest provider of district heating in Norway, has granted Technip Energies a sizable (1) Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) contract for a groundbreaking carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at a waste to energy facility in Oslo, Norway. The project will be the first complete waste-to-energy facility with CO2 collection in the whole globe. Oslo's emissions will be reduced by 17% thanks to the annual capture of 400,000 tonnes of CO2, which is the same as the emissions from about 200,000 automobiles. The CO2 will subsequently be liquefied as part of the Longship project and shipped to Northern Lights, which is the first international, open-source infrastructure network for CO2 transit and storage.

The Carbon Capture plant will use the Shell CANSOLV® CO2 Capture System, a state-of-the-art amine based technology for the capture of CO2 from the flue gas.

This EPC contract award follows several years of a joint journey with the completion of the design competition, the successful delivery and test of a pilot unit and continuous collaboration between Technip Energies and Hafslund Oslo Celsio to optimize project economics. Developing, testing and proving this cost-effective solution is the result of a close partnership and co-development with the owner, T.EN and the technology provider.

Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, commented: “We are proud to be entrusted by Hafslund Oslo Celsio to support the development of the first waste-to-energy with Carbon Capture and Storage project in the world. Norway is at the forefront of decarbonization initiatives and, by being part of Hafslund Oslo Celsio project, we will contribute to one of the two projects of Longship, the very first Phase of Northern Lights. We are committed to leverage our strong expertise in CO2 management, our local presence and our alliance with Shell to successfully deliver this groundbreaking project, a key milestone towards a low-carbon future.”
