Carbon capture at Kårstø: The procurement process comes to a halt – integration is under consideration
CO2-håndtering på Kårstø: Anskaffelsesprosessen stanses - integrering vurderes
- The goal for the work on CCS at Kårstø is to reduce emissions from one of Norway’s largest sources of CO2.
– Målet for arbeidet med CO2-håndtering på Kårstø er å redusere CO2-utslipp fra en av Norges største utslippskilder.
We will now consider a solution with integration which may reduce emissions.
Nå skal vi se på en integrasjonsløsning som vil kunne kutte utslippene.
The results of this will be an important contribution to further work on CCS at Kårstø, says Minister of Petroleum and Energy Terje Riis-Johansen.
Resultatet av dette vil være et viktig innspill i det videre arbeidet med CO2-håndtering på Kårstø, sier olje- og energiminister Riis-Johansen.
An integration of energy systems at Kårstø involves the usage of electricity and heat from the gas-fired power plant at the gas processing facility, thereby replacing existing gas-fired compressors and boilers.
En integrasjonsløsning vil innebære at gasskraftverket kan levere strøm og varme til gassprosesseringsanlegget og dermed erstatte eksisterende gassdrevne kompressorer og kjeler.
- The Norwegian Government has also made it clear that the operational pattern of the gas-fired power plant will be given special consideration when the investment decision is made.
– Regjeringen har også gjort det klart at gasskraftverkets driftsmønster vil bli vektlagt når investeringsbeslutningen skal tas.

Lavere CO2-utslipp fra gasskraftverket vil imidlertid ikke redusere kostnadene ved å bygge et fullskala fangstanlegg.
