Gassnova and Statoil have chosen Alstom as one of the suppliers of the CO2 capture technology to participate in a technology qualification program for full scale CO2 capture plant at Mongstad (CCM).

The technology qualification program is divided into three phases; i) feasibility study, ii) demonstrating the capability of the technology to achieve the required performance and iii) concept study for the full-scale plant.

We are excited to participate in this qualification program. Testing at the demonstration plant for the Chilled Ammonia Process (CAP) we are currently building at Mongstad, will be very important in demonstrating again the performance of the CAP process on the same type of flue gas as the full-scale plant. Successful results will allow us to bid for the Front End Engineering and Design leading up to our target - the EPC contract which is planned to be awarded in 2016, said Patrick Fragman, Vice President Environmental Control Systems and Carbon Capture & Storage at Alstom.

Following on the successful pilot (5MW) and demonstration plant (54MW) operation over the past few years, the Chilled Ammonia Process (CAP) has confirmed its potential to be one of the best-in-class technologies. The Alstom validation program has confirmed that the Chilled Ammonia Process is extremely efficient, and offers other environmental benefits, such as by-products that may be used as a fertilizer.

Alstom is offering a full portfolio of the most advanced Carbon capture technologies for Power and Industrial applications, and committed to 15 active Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects with the global energy sectors biggest utilities and industrial companies around the world.

Speaking on the achievement, Eric Staurset, Alstoms Country President in Norway. said, Alstom is proud to be part of this unique development in Norway and we do expect that this will develop into a global reference point with the realisation of the full scale CO2 facility.
