Innledende konseptutvikling av EGR- og DCC-systemer for utslippsreduksjon offshore

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

The project aims to develop an inititial concept with two key technologies that can enable cost-efficient offshore carbon capture: Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and a Direct Contact Cooler (DCC). Offshore gas turbines are today responsible for large CO₂ emissions, and existing capture solutions are too large and heavy to be implemented on platforms and FPSOs. The EGR concept will recirculate exhaust gas to increase CO₂ concentration and reduce NOx formation, while the DCC concept will cool turbine exhaust in a compact, vertical integrated unit that also potentially removes harmful NO₂. Together, these initial concepts may reduce exhaust gas volume and make it possible to operate with smaller and more efficient CO₂ capture plants offshore.
