Wison delivers first batch
of Arctic LNG 2 modules
Baker Hughes invests in
biomethanation technology
Baker Hughes recently invested in Electrochaea, a growth-stage company
developing proprietary bio-methanation technology. Through its investment, Baker
Hughes will enhance its broader carbon capture and utilization (CCU) portfolio and
provide an integrated solution for customers across the CO2
value chain to enable
and
the production of low-carbon synthetic natural gas (SNG) from captured CO2
green H2, helping meet demand for cleaner fuels to advance the energy transition.
Electrochaea's biomethanation process is an accessible, highly-efficient,
scalable and complementary technology to the Baker Hughes CCU portfolio. The
two companies will join efforts to accelerate the scale-up and industrialization
of the technology, and they will develop the commercialization of an innovative
integrated CCU solution. Once commercialized, the solution will provide to
customers a unique ability to transform CO2
emissions into clean SNG.
Wison Offshore & Marine Co. Ltd. announced that four
modules for the first train of the Arctic LNG 2 project, weighing
nearly 50,000 tons, have been completed after nearly 2 yr of
effort and are ready for shipment. The first two modules of the
ship officially set sail at WOM's Zhoushan yard today and will
be shipped to Russia. The other two modules will be shipped in
mid-September.
Developed by Novatek, Russia's largest independent natural
gas producer, the Arctic LNG 2 project is the world's largest
polar LNG plant. The project consists of three LNG production
trains, each with an annual production capacity of 6.6 MMt.
For the three trains, Wison undertakes the construction and
commissioning of about 150,000 tons of pipe rack modules,
including the design, procurement, construction, commissioning
and loading of 21 BLM modules. Modules for the first train were
delivered from Zhoushan yard recently.
Baker Hughes will draw from its portfolio of carbon capture technologies,
including its Compact Carbon Capture design, to provide integrated solutions
tailored to specific applications utilizing both CO2
sources with biogenic origin,
such as biomass and waste-to-energy plants, as well as sources based on
combustion of fossil fuels, such as industrial plants.
SNG is methane that originates from a synthesis process that starts from
carbon and hydrogen feedstock. Compared to renewable natural gas (RNG)
and biomethane-which have biological origin-or fossil based natural gas, SNG
reutilizes CO2
that would be otherwise emitted into the atmosphere, thereby
contributing to significantly mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
Electrochaea's technology produces SNG from green hydrogen and CO2
that can come from a variety of sources, such as biogas, fermentation offgas or
captured from single-point emitters such as power and industrial plants. SNG can
be used for low-carbon heating, transport and industrial applications. In addition,
once SNG is injected into existing natural gas pipelines, it can be used as a form
of energy storage.
