Saipem is responsible for the offshore execution scope of the project. For Jan De Nul, it is the first time the company is involved in a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project that captures CO2 emissions from industrial facilities before they enter the atmosphere. The CO2 is compressed and transported through a network of pipelines to a storage location under the North Sea, where it is injected thousands of meters deep into porous rock formations.
Tom Quintelier, Project Manager at Jan De Nu, saidl: “This is a project we are very proud of at Jan De Nul. We are entering a new market that perfectly aligns with our ambition: preparing the world for tomorrow’s challenges through strong engineering and innovative solutions. With our fleet, we are actively contributing to a reliable and sustainable energy system based on renewable energy. Being able to contribute to a pioneering project with a direct and positive impact on climate change makes our story even stronger.”
Northern Endurance Partnership will capture CO2 from the industrial areas of Teesside and Humber, on the east coast of England. Jan De Nul is responsible for protecting the pipeline, which has a diameter of one meter, on the seabed of the North Sea. Using our rock installation vessel Simon Stevin, the company will install rock over the coming months. Jan De Nul does this with a vertical fall pipe system that places the rock with high precision on the seabed at depths of 30 to 60 meters.
