SLB announced that SLB Capturi, together with Aker Solutions, secured an engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning contract from Hafslund Celsio AS. The solution is about carbon capture in Hafslund Celsio’s waste-to-energy plant located at Klemetsrud, Oslo, to be a part of the full-value-chain carbon capture and storage initiative by the Norwegian government, Longship.
Carbon Capture Plant for Waste-to-Energy Facility
The contract is to be implemented in the Hafslund Celsio’s plant, which would comprise a carbon capture plant, liquefaction system, temporary storage and loading. The CO2 storage and ship loading will be implemented at Oslo harbor, and then the CO2 will be transported to Northern Lights storage. On completion, it will capture 350,000 metric tons of CO2 yearly.
Modular Design for Cost-Effective Solution
This contract follows a cost-reduction phase that identified several opportunities for operational efficiencies, including layout optimization. The project will use SLB Capturi’s Just Catch™ 400 unit, a space-efficient design that cuts footprint, installation time, and costs.
Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi, said, “Standardization and modularization play a key role in shifting the economics of carbon capture projects.”
He added, “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.”

Part of Norway’s Longship CCS Project
Hafslund Celsio’s carbon capture facility will be the second in the Longship project, following SLB Capturi’s Brevik plant.
Kjetel Digre, the CEO of Aker Solutions, stated that the project marks a significant milestone for both the company and the CCS industry in Norway. He expressed pride in being part of the key project and anticipated contributing to its success with Aker Solutions’ effective project execution, drawing on three decades of experience in the CCS market.
He highlighted how the project showcases the importance of public-private collaboration in creating a strong industrial carbon capture value chain. Additionally, he highlighted the project’s potential to reduce emissions and create value for both industry and society.
The Hafslund Celsio project will be crucial in reducing Norway’s emissions and supporting the success of the Longship initiative.
