Aker Kvaerner has awarded DNV a contract to qualify the carbon capture technology which will be used in a carbon dioxide (CO2) capture demonstration plant in Norway. The demonstration facility will be linked to a gas-fired power plant and will be based on Aker Kvaerner’s Just CatchTM technology, which is being developed together with 12 industrial partners in addition to Gassnova, a subsidiary of the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. The demonstration plant will have the capacity to clean 10% of the flue gas from a 420-MW power plant. It will be developed in two phases. Firstly, the Just CatchTM plant will be run using exhaust from the gas-fired power plant. Secondly, a bio plant providing steam will be fully integrated with the demo plant. The technology will therefore be designed to clean flue gas from natural gas fired and bio power plants, in addition to flue gases with CO2 concentrations similar to those from coal-fired plants. As a completely independent company, DNV will issue a ‘Statement of Endorsement’ once the novel aspects of the Just CatchTM Bio Demo plant technology are documented as being feasible.
