SLB Capturi and Aker Solutions have been granted an engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) contract from Hafslund Celsio, to deliver a carbon capture solution at Halslund’s waste-to-energy facility based in Klemetsrud, Oslo.
Hafslund Celsio is one of the largest producer and supplier of district heating in Norway and supplied 25% of the district heating generated in the naition in 2023.

The company’s carbon capture project is part of Longship, Norway’s full value-chain carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.
This project is the second carbon capture plant within Longship, where SLB Capturi is already delivering the carbon capture plant at Heidelberg Materials’ cement facility in Brevik, southern Norway, in collaboration with Aker Solutions.
Kjetel Digre, CEO of Aker Solutions, said in a statement that the collaboration “marks a significant milestone for Aker Solutions and the CCS industry in Norway.”
Aker Solutions recently signed a partnership agreement with Vår Energi, to provide maintenance and modification services for assets and projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
The contract includes the delivery of a carbon capture plant, liquefaction system, temporary storage and a loading facility at the waste incineration site.
It also includes an intermediate CO2 storage and ship-loading system at Oslo harbour. From here, the CO2 will be transported to the Northern Lights permanent storage facility on the NCS.
The new carbon capture plant is forecast to capture 350,000 metric tonnes of CO2 annually.
The EPCIC contract follows a cost reduction phase for Hafslund Celsio’s project, which identified opportunities for efficiencies. The project will now be delivered based on SLB Capturi’s modularised Just Catch 400 unit.
Egil Fagerland, chief executive officer, SLB Capturi, said “standardisation and modularisation play a key role in shifting the economics of carbon capture projects.”
“We are extremely proud of our collaboration with Hafslund Celsio and Aker Solutions to align our Just Catch plant design with the techno-economic requirements of this project to help make it a reality,” he added.
