Technip Energies Loading Systems has been awarded a contract to supply three fully electric marine loading arms for phase 2 of the Northern Lights CO2 transport and storage project in Øygarden, Norway. The contract was recorded in Q3 2025 in the Technology, Products & Services segment.

The loading solution will be installed at the new Northern Lights jetty and will consist of three marine loading arms fully qualified to transfer liquefied CO2. This represents a first-of-a-kind, fully electric design that eliminates hydraulics and sets a new industry benchmark for operability, safety, and environmental performance.

Building on Phase 1 Success

This contract builds on the successful delivery of the world's first liquefied CO2 marine loading arms by Technip Energies Loading Systems for phase 1 of the project, which entered operation in summer 2025. The company's previous work on phase 1 established its position in the carbon capture and storage market.

The fully electric marine loading arms have been technically qualified and selected for their advanced performance, demonstrating Technip Energies Loading Systems' capacity to bring cutting-edge, field-ready innovation to the CCS market.

Capacity Expansion and Timeline

This second phase of development will increase the terminal's capacity to handle more than 5 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2028. The expansion represents a significant scaling up of the facility's operational capabilities for carbon dioxide processing and storage.

The new equipment will be installed at the Northern Lights jetty as part of the infrastructure expansion to accommodate increased throughput.

Northern Lights Project Overview

Northern Lights is a joint venture between Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies, representing the world's first open-access, cross-border CO2 transport and storage infrastructure. The terminal receives liquefied CO2 shipped from European industrial sites, temporarily stores it, and transports it offshore for permanent seabed storage.

The project operates as a pioneering CCS infrastructure that serves multiple European industrial sites, providing a centralized solution for carbon dioxide capture, transport, and permanent storage.

Company Leadership Statement

Charles Cessot, Senior Vice President T.EN X – Consulting & Systems commented on the contract award: “The adoption of our fully electric marine loading arms underscores our commitment to innovation and to enabling the carbon management infrastructure that Europe needs. This new award follows the successful delivery and operational start-up of the world's first liquefied CO2 marine loading arms for phase 1, positioning us as a trusted partner in this pioneering CCS project.

It further strengthens Technip Energies' leadership in the CCS market and reflects our ability to deliver innovative solutions tailored to the evolving needs of our clients and the industry.”

The contract announcement was made on November 17, 2025, highlighting Technip Energies' continued involvement in the carbon capture and storage sector through its Loading Systems division.
