Linde Engineering to Supply Carbon Capture Technology for ADNOC's Hail & Ghasha Project
Key Ideas
- Linde Engineering's HISORP® CC technology will capture and purify carbon dioxide for underground storage in ADNOC's Hail & Ghasha project, supporting a target of 1.5 million tons of CO2 captured annually.
- The project includes producing low-carbon hydrogen, utilizing clean power sources like nuclear and renewable energy to reduce emissions and environmental impact.
- Linde will collaborate with Italy's NextChem to provide technology and core units, focusing on CO2 recovery systems utilizing state-of-the-art technologies for maximum efficiency.
- John van der Velden, Linde Engineering's Senior Vice President, is enthusiastic about supporting ADNOC's net-zero goals through this carbon reduction strategy.
Linde Engineering, a subsidiary of the multinational chemical company Linde, has been chosen to supply its HISORP® CC carbon capture technology for the Hail & Ghasha project by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), a significant offshore sour gas development initiative. This cutting-edge adsorption-based carbon capture solution will aid in capturing and purifying carbon dioxide (CO2) for secure underground storage, aligning with ADNOC's objective of capturing 1.5 million tons of CO2 annually. The project not only focuses on CO2 sequestration but also aims to produce low-carbon hydrogen to replace traditional fuel gas, thereby further reducing emissions. To minimize the environmental footprint, the project will utilize clean power sources such as nuclear and renewable energy from the national grid. Linde will play a crucial role by providing both the technology and core units for the project, collaborating closely with Italy's NextChem, which is responsible for the process design package of the hydrogen and CO2 recovery systems. NextChem's responsibilities encompass various aspects like the raw gas compression station, dehydration and separation unit, and CO2 compression facilities, all utilizing advanced technologies to enhance efficiency. Linde's agreement with NextChem for the supply of its HISORP® CC technology signifies a significant step in this initiative. John van der Velden, Linde Engineering's Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Technology, has expressed optimism about the project, emphasizing the company's dedication to supporting ADNOC's net-zero objectives.
