Three carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf are progressing to the next stage of development following what was called a successful assessment of their technical feasibility.
Engineering and consulting firm Wood on Aug. 26 said its evaluation of Trudvang, Luna and Havstjerne CCS projects included flow assurance simulations, development of CO2 specifications, specialized subsea field layouts and innovative marine loading and offloading solutions. The company’s techno-economic assessments laid the groundwork for sustainable CO2 transportation solutions, which Wood said enabled the projects to move to the next stage.
“Our long-standing presence in the North Sea, combined with the strategic scopes of work we have secured in the Norwegian Continental Shelf, underscore our commitment to bringing investible and scalable decarbonization solution to the region,” said Azad Hessamodini, executive president of consulting at Wood.
Together, the projects can store up to 21 million tonnes of CO2 annually, which is equivalent to about half of Norway’s total CO2 emissions in 2023, according to Wood. Sval, Storegga and Vår Energi (Trudvang); Wintershall Dea and TotalEnergies (Luna); and Wintershall Dea and Altera (Havstjerne) own the CCS licenses.
