Denmark's Project Greensand taps NOV for CO2 transfer solution

INEOS and its partners in Project Greensand, an initiative that aims to set up a large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain offshore Denmark by 2026, have selected a provider of an offshore CO2 injection system for the project.

As disclosed, INEOS and its partners have awarded an engineering, procurement, and construction contract (EPC) to offshore technology provider APL, a part of oilfield services company NOV, to deliver the offshore injection system, which enables the direct injection of CO2 from transport vessels into the reservoir.

This contract marks APL’s entrance into a new market, and the Greensand project will be among the first applications of this technology for offshore CO2 injection.

“CCS is going to play a vital role in the energy transition, and with Greensand becoming the first CO2 storage facility in the EU, we take a giant and important step toward large-scale storage of CO2 from European emitters,” said Kurt Jager Lykke, Head of Project Greensand in INEOS Energy.

“Effective and safe transportation and transfer of CO2 will be crucial. Therefore, we are happy to enter into a partnership with APL on
