Carbon capture and storage | SLB Capturi project updates


SLB Capturi, a joint venture of SLB and Aker Carbon Capture, reports that it is taking part in the FEED (front end engineering design) phase for carbon capture systems to be installed at an energy-from-waste plant for AEB Amsterdam. AEB is a specialist waste processing company that operates a separation plant, two incineration plants and a biomass facility at its site in Westpoort, Amsterdam.

The initiative, which forms part of the Aurora project, will focus on the initial design phase of the installation, and will be carried out in consortium with Acciona and Sener. The Acciona/Sener/SLB Capturi consortium was awarded the FEED contract following a European tendering procedure. It is a two-phase contract covering design and implementation of a CO2


system, based on the company’s commercially proven amine- solvent-based technology. The FEED phase of the project will see a construction team, comprising the consortium, AEB and a project management consultancy, further develop the design and execution strategy for the subsequent building of the installation.


. The Aurora project aims to capture this carbon dioxide and permanently sequester it in a dedicated carbon dioxide storage field under the North Sea. Transportation and storage are not included within the consortium scope. AEB hopes to be capturing and sequestering around 0.5 million tonnes of CO2


AEB’s two waste incineration plants at Westpoort process around 1.4 million tonnes of waste annually, releasing nearly 550 000 tonnes of CO2


per annum by


2028, reducing total emissions generated within the municipality of Amsterdam by 10%.

Key components installed for Ørsted Kalundborg hub


Meanwhile, in Denmark, SLB Capturi has reached an important project milestone supporting the Ørsted Kalundborg CO2


Hub and the realisation


of country’s first carbon capture and storage project.


A total of five sets of absorbers, desorbers, and direct contact coolers is now in place. These items constitute the key components of SLB Capturi’s Just CatchTM


standardised, modular


carbon capture plant. Three of the five sets are located at the wood-chip-fired Asnæs power plant (western Zealand), and the other two are at the straw-fired Avedøre power station (Greater Copenhagen).


“By establishing a full CCS value chain, the Ørsted Kalundborg CO2


Hub marks the beginning


of the Danish CCS adventure,” said Ole Thomsen, Senior Vice President and Head of Bioenergy at Ørsted.


Work is now underway on installing internals and piping for the key components, connecting them to the rest of the power stations. Additionally, intermediate storage tanks will be installed to enable further shipping for permanent storage at the Northern Lights storage reservoir in the North Sea. “It is great to see this project come to life with the installation of the key components of the Just Catch plant,” said Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi. “By deploying our standardised and modularised Just Catch 100 in series we are benefitting from the previous project experience.” The “full value chain” is expected to be in operation in early 2026, says Fagerland. The Ørsted Kalundborg CO2


Hub is expected


annually from the power plants when operational. The CO2


capture and storage


systems installed at the straw- and woodchip- fired power stations can be regarded as removing CO2


from the atmosphere, “making a Kalundborg CO2 hub. The captured CO2 will be sequestered under the North Sea, as part of Norway’s Northern Lights project. 30 | June 2025| www.modernpowersystems.com
