Baker Hughes and Borg CO2 are working together on a carbon capture and storage project to serve as a hub for the decarbonization of industrial sites in the Viken region of Norway.
The Borg CO2 project aims to capture and store emissions from industrial facilities located in the cities of Fredrikstad, Sarpborg and Halden. The combined industrial cluster is currently responsible for approximately 700,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. After being captured, the CO2 will be liquified, shipped and eventually stored underneath the seabed of the North Sea. In April 2021, Borg CO2 announced a deal with Northern Lights JV, who will provide shipping and storage of CO2 as a service provider for Borg CO2.
Borg CO2 and its partners are carrying out an extended feasibility study to be completed by the end of 2021 which Baker Hughes will support with its carbon capture technologies and engineering services. In addition, Baker Hughes and Borg CO2 will jointly evaluate the optimal structure for implementation of the carbon capture plants and pursue grant and incentive opportunities both in Norway and at the EU level.
Baker Hughes will test and scale its carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies portfolio on several types of processes including its Chilled Ammonia Process (CAP) and Compact Carbon Capture (CCC) solutions.
