Global petrochemicals company INEOS has selected ITT’s Svanehøj to supply CO₂ pumps for the onshore facility and the first LCO₂ carrier for Project Greensand in the Danish North Sea. This strategically significant order further strengthens Svanehøj’s position in carbon capture and storage (CCS), reinforcing its track record as a trusted specialist in critical equipment for liquefied gas.
The INEOS-led Project Greensand will become the EU’s first full-scale CO₂ storage facility, contributing to climate change mitigation. Following a successful trial, storage operations are set to begin by late 2025 or early 2026.
INEOS recently entered a long-term agreement with maritime logistics company Royal Wagenborg to construct and deploy the first dedicated LCO₂ carrier for the Greensand project.
Now, INEOS has selected Svanehøj as the supplier of CO2 cargo pumps for the new vessel. Svanehøj will also deliver CO2 pumps for the project’s onshore facility in Port Esbjerg.
"We have worked closely with INEOS' development team over the past year to specify customized pump solutions for both the onshore terminal and the vessel. It has been a rewarding process, allowing us to leverage our extensive expertise in CO₂ and contribute to an optimised design regarding flow and pressure" said Magnus Madsen, sales manager, cargo gas, at Svanehøj.
Project Greensand is named after the type of sandstone beneath the seabed in the Danish North Sea.
By initiating the first commercial phase, Project Greensand establishes the full-value chain as captured and liquefied CO₂ from Danish biogas producers is transported offshore for injection into depleted oil wells in the North Sea’s Nini Field for permanent storage.
