Leading cargo gas pumping company Svanehøj has been chosen by INEOS to provide its deepwell CO2 cargo pumps for the first LCO2 carrier and onshore storage facility at Project Greensand in the Danish North Sea. A major component of Europe’s carbon capture and storage initiatives, this project intends to store collected carbon dioxide in offshore depletion oil wells.

Svanehøj has collaborated with INEOS for a year, creating customized pump solutions for both the onshore terminal and vessel.

Magnus Madsen, Sales Manager for Cargo Gas at Svanehøj, expressed satisfaction with the collaborative process, noting, “We have worked closely with INEOS’ development team over the past year to specify customized pump solutions for both the onshore terminal and the vessel. It has been a rewarding process, allowing us to leverage our extensive expertise in CO2 and contribute to an optimized design regarding flow and pressure.”

Decades of Expertise in CO2 Pumps

In the 1990s, Svanehøj, which has decades of experience, supplied its first CO2 cargo pump for an LCO2 carrier. Having experience with CO2 pumping systems, Svanehøj sees carbon capture and storage as a significant area for expansion. This latest INEOS order reinforces the company’s position in CO2 pumping and expands its growing list of successful projects.

Expanding Reach in Carbon Storage

In 2024, Svanehøj secured a contract to supply CO2 deepwell cargo pumps for the two largest LCO2 carriers under construction. The company provides CO2 pumping systems for Northern Lights’ LCO2 fleet in Norway, further strengthening its leadership in CCS.

Project Greensand, located in the Danish North Sea, will soon become the European Union’s first full-scale CO2 storage facility. The project will transport liquefied CO2 from Danish biogas producers to the Nini Field for injection into depleted oil wells. After successful trials, the project will start by late 2025 or early 2026, storing 400,000 tons of CO2 annually. The project aims to scale storage to 8 million tons annually as captured CO2 volumes increase over time.

Maritime Logistics and New LCO2 Carrier

For Project Greensand, NEOS and Royal Wagenborg have partnered to construct and launch the first specially designed LCO2 carrier. The EasyMax design created by Royal Wagenborg and the Royal Niestern Sander shipyard will serve as the foundation for the new vessel. This ice-classed, open-top vessel will offer large load capacity and low fuel consumption, expected to start operations by late 2025.

The deep-well CO2 cargo pumps for the LCO2 carrier and Port Esbjerg facility are set for delivery in the third quarter of 2025.

Suzlon Group, a renewable energy solutions supplier in India, has reaffirmed its position as the industry leader in wind energy with a 201.6 MW repeat order from Oyster Renewable. In just nine months, Suzlon and Oyster Renewable’s partnership in Madhya Pradesh has expanded to 283.5 MW with this new contract. In keeping with India’s shift to cleaner energy, the partnership would help improve the state’s infrastructure for renewable energy.

Growing Demand for Wind Energy Solutions

The new order reflects rising demand for wind energy, especially from Commercial & Industrial consumers, now making up 59% of Suzlon’s orders. As wind energy gains popularity among businesses, Suzlon’s contribution to advancing India’s clean energy future continues to expand.

Suzlon will supply 64 cutting-edge S144 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with Hybrid Lattice Towers (HLT), each with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW, in accordance with the deal. The project, which is situated in Madhya Pradesh, will also help the state become more well-known as one of India’s main wind energy hubs.

Girish Tanti said, “After working with us for commissioning, Oyster has now trusted Suzlon with a full EPC order-reinforcing our position as the preferred renewable energy partner. More customers are choosing us for our end-to-end expertise, from land acquisition and seamless project execution to world-class O&M services that maximise power generation and extend the turbine lifespan. At Suzlon, we don’t just build projects, we create long-term value for a cleaner, greener future.”
