Technip Energies to Provide Electric CO2 Loading Arms for Northern Lights Phase 2

Key highlights

Project Overview

Technip Energies has been contracted to supply three fully electric marine loading arms for the second phase of the Northern Lights CO2 transport and storage project in Øygarden, Norway. This phase will enhance the terminal's capacity to handle over 5 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2028.

Technological Advancements

The loading solution will be installed at the new Northern Lights jetty and will feature a fully electric design, eliminating the use of hydraulics. This innovation sets a new industry benchmark in operability, safety, and environmental performance.

Background and Partnerships

Northern Lights is a joint venture between Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies. It is the world's first open-access, cross-border CO2 transport and storage infrastructure, receiving liquefied CO2 from European industrial sites for offshore storage beneath the seabed.

Timeline and Milestones

The first phase of the project, which included the delivery of the world's first liquefied CO2 marine loading arms, began operations in summer 2025. The award for the second phase was recorded in Q3 2025 in the Technology, Products & Services segment.
