UK chemicals company INEOS has chosen US group ITT’s Svanehøj unit, based in Denmark, to supply carbon dioxide (CO2) pumps for Project Greensand, a carbon storage project in the Danish North Sea. Under the deal, Svanehøj will provide pumps for both the project’s onshore facility at Port Esbjerg and its first dedicated liquid CO2 (LCO2) carrier, developed with Royal Wagenborg.
After a successful trial, the storage operations of Project Greensand are set to begin in late 2025 or early 2026. In its first phase, the project aims to store 400,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, with plans to scale up to eight million tonnes annually as CO2 capture grows.
“We have worked closely with INEOS’ development team over the past year to specify customised pump solutions for both the onshore terminal and the vessel,” said Magnus Madsen, Sales Manager, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “It has been a rewarding process, allowing us to leverage our expertise in CO2 and contribute to an optimised design.”
Svanehøj has experience supplying CO2 pumping systems for marine applications, having delivered its first cargo pump for an LCO2 carrier in the 1990s. More recently, the company has provided CO2 pumps for the Northern Lights project in Norway and LCO2 carriers under construction at HD Hyundai Mipo.
