KBR has bagged a Front-End Engineering Design (FFED) contract from Fidelis New Energy for Project Fyrkat, a liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) receiving terminal at the Port of Aalborg, Denmark. Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide engineering to support the LCO2 handling and storage facility, as Fidelis New Energy aims to help global decarbonization.
The press release stated that project Fyrkat is one of the first onshore CO2 sequestration facilities, and is part of a larger initiative, project Norne, which expects to store more than twenty million tons of CO2 per year by 2030. This equates to around half of all Denmark’s yearly emissions. Norne will provide emitting companies with access to an affordable and safe pathway to process their CO2 emissions.
“We are happy to be a part of this significant liquid carbon dioxide project in Europe,” said Jay Ibrahim, President, KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. Ibrahim added, “KBR’s strategic commitment and expertise in energy transition, coupled with our world-class engineering professionals, enables us to provide cutting-edge solutions to projects that are the key to helping our world achieve net-zero carbon emissions”.
“We are thrilled to work with KBR for our receiving facility due to their extensive experience and expertise with liquid carbon dioxide, enhancing our ability to service our clients’ marine transported CO2 volumes,” added Ulrik Weuder, Managing Director for Fidelis Europe.
