DNV GL has actually accepted as certified, modern technology for a full-blown demo task in Norway to get rid of carbon discharges at a concrete plant. Gassnova, the Norwegian state’s firm for application of carbon capture as well as storage space jobs, started the task which will use carbon capture modern technology established by Aker Solutions at Norcem’s concrete plant in Brevik, Norway.
Globally, the concrete sector make up 5-7% of overall CARBON DIOXIDE discharges– from all markets as well as fields. Aker Solutions’ post-combustion modern technology is meant to record as well as dissolve 400,000 heaps each year of the launched co2 at the Norcem plant. Once the modern technology is used this will certainly add to Norway’s target of coming to be a low-emission culture by 2050.
DNV GL involved with Norcem as well as Aker Solutions to confirm the application of DNV GL’s advised methods DNVGL-RP-A203 Technology credentials as well as DNVGL-RP-J201 Qualification treatments for co2 capture modern technology at the plant.

Novel components of Aker Solutions’ carbon capture modern technology as well as possible technical dangers were assessed as well as reduction determined. Documentation was assessed to offer a much better understanding of the modern technology as well as the particular application as well as problems at Norcem’s plant.
Arve Johan Kalleklev, Regional Manager, Norway as well as Eurasia, DNV GL– Oil & & Gas claimed: “Carbon capture, as well as succeeding storage space, is presently the only modern technology that can accomplish substantial decreases in CARBON DIOXIDE discharges from commercial procedures. Carbon capture can play an essential part in decarbonizing our earth. DNV GL’s credentials testimonial of Aker Solutions’ modern technology is a fantastic instance of exactly how we involve to allow application of this important modern technology. “
As an outcome of the credentials treatment testimonial, DNV GL released a ‘Statement of Qualified Technology’ for Aker Solutions’ carbon capture as well as warm recuperation modern technology, appropriate for the problems at the Norcem Brevik concrete plant.
Per Brevik, Director Sustainability as well as different gas in HeidelbergCement Northern Europe states: “Aker Solutions have actually checked their modern technology at Norcem Brevik for 18 months. Their top quality competence, methodical job as well as the encouraging arise from pilot screening in Brevik provide us self-confidence that realisation of the major capture plant will certainly achieve success.
Based on the third-party modern technology credentials properly implemented by DNV GL, we rely on that the task threat pertaining to unique modern technology components is reduced.” The Norcem Brevik carbon capture plant kinds component of Europe’s initial commercial demo of CARBON DIOXIDE capture, transportation as well as storage space. The recorded CARBON DIOXIDE is to be delivered as well as infused right into a CARBON DIOXIDE storage space website overseas Norway, established by the Equinor- headed Northern Lights consortium.
Oscar Graff, Head of CCUS in Aker Solutions claimed: “The extensive experience and systematic qualification procedures from DNV GL have been a great support for our engineers in our technology development. The procedure is an excellent tool to identify risk elements and to propose how to solve them. To get a statement of qualified technology from DNV GL, as a recognized third party, has high value for Aker Solutions and our clients.”
