Estanc is delivering equipment to support carbon removal
Estonian engineering and manufacturing company Estanc has closed a contract to supply process equipment for the SLB Capturi carbon capture project at Ørsted’s combined heat and power plants in Denmark. The captured carbon will be transported to the North Sea, where it will be permanently stored.
“We have already begun manufacturing the equipment for SLB Capturi’s carbon capture plants, which will be installed at Ørsted’s Asnæs and Avedøre combined heat and power plants in Denmark. This infrastructure, set to be operational by 2026, will enable the capture of 430,000 tons of carbon emissions per year,” said Priit Haldma, CEO of Estanc.
Carbon Storage in the North Sea
Haldma noted that once captured, the carbon will be transported to the Northern Lights terminal in western Norway, the world’s first commercial carbon storage site. One hundred kilometers off the coast, the carbon will be injected 2,600 meters deep into porous rock beneath the seabed.
“Our long-term goal has been to become a strategic supplier in large-scale carbon capture and storage projects, which are crucial for reducing the CO2 footprint. Most of the equipment will be supplied to SLB Capturi, and we are pleased to collaborate on this important technology delivery,” added Haldma.
Significant Commitment for Estanc
Haldma highlighted that the contract with SLB Capturi represents a major commitment for Estanc, requiring 10% of the company’s annual working hours. All equipment will be manufactured at Estanc facility in Jüri, Harju County, in Estonia.
