Baker Hughes wins CO2 compressor contract for UK CCS project
Energy technology company Baker Hughes has been awarded a contract by Saipem to supply carbon dioxide compression technology for Eni’s Liverpool Bay carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in the UK.
Baker Hughes will supply three advanced CO2 centrifugal compressor trains with electric motors, as well as a Lufkin Gears gearbox.
The full compressor package will be used for the re-injection of the CO2, leveraging Baker Hughes’ long experience in CCUS technologies, as part of Saipem’s conversion of a traditional gas compression and treatment facility at Point of Ayr, in north Wales, into a CO2 electrical compression station allowing for permanent CO2 storage in offshore depleted fields under Liverpool Bay.
The Liverpool Bay CCS project, which recently reached financial close, is set to operate as the backbone of the HyNet Cluster to transport CO2 from capture plants across north-west England and in north Wales through new and repurposed infrastructure to storage in Eni’s depleted natural gas reservoirs, which are under the seabed in Liverpool Bay.
