Alfa Laval to supply heat transfer technology for major European carbon capture project
Alfa Laval has been selected by Saipem to supply heat transfer equipment for Stockholm Exergi's bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) project. Saipem is the EPC contractor for the facility.
Swedish company Alfa Laval will supply heat transfer technology for Stockholm Exergi's bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) project. Saipem, the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor for the project, has chosen Alfa Laval as its supplier.
The project, located in Stockholm, is one of Europe's largest of its kind. It aims to significantly reduce emissions by utilizing bioenergy and capturing the resulting carbon dioxide. Alfa Laval's contribution will involve supplying essential heat transfer equipment, a critical component of the carbon capture process.
BECCS technology integrates renewable energy production from biomass with carbon capture, potentially achieving negative emissions. This new undertaking aligns with Stockholm's climate goals and Europe's broader transition towards low-carbon energy production.
Alfa Laval's technology is designed to facilitate efficient heat recovery and utilization within the BECCS process, which is vital for the plant's economic viability and emission reduction targets. Deliveries are expected to commence shortly, marking a significant step towards more sustainable energy solutions.
