Worley Rosenberg has obtained the contract for the construction of key underwater structures and spools for the Northern Lights carbon storage and transportation project in Norway. This contract follows the delivery of similar structures in the first phase of the project in 2023.
Contract Details and Project Goals
The Norwegian government aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and achieve global climate change reduction goals through the launch of the Northern Lights project. The second phase of this project will increase carbon dioxide storage capacity from 1.5 million tons per year to over 5 million tons. This initiative is part of the Longship project, recognized as a full-scale carbon capture and storage project in Norway.
Worley Rosenberg's Role in the Underwater Market
Worley Rosenberg's CEO, Jan Narvestad, stated that this contract strengthens the company's position in the underwater market and expands its role in providing infrastructure that enables extensive carbon dioxide reduction. He added, "CCS (carbon capture and storage) will be a crucial part of achieving global climate goals, especially for industries where emissions are difficult to eliminate. The Northern Lights project is one of the most important CCS projects under development."
The Northern Lights project not only helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions but also supports the operations of manufacturing plants and related infrastructure. This contract also aids in enhancing Worley Rosenberg's competitive capabilities in providing the necessary infrastructure for the energy transition.
