Technip Energies (PARIS:TE) 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 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. For this second phase, Technip Energies Loading Systems will deliver a fully electric design, a first-of-a-kind eliminating the use of hydraulics and setting a new industry benchmark in terms of operability, safety, and environmental performance.
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. 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 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.
Charles Cessot, Senior Vice President T.EN X – Consulting & Systems, commented: “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.”
Northern Lights, a joint venture between Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies, is the world’s first open-access, cross-border CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure. The terminal receives liquefied CO₂ shipped from European industrial sites, stores it temporarily, and transports it offshore for permanent storage beneath the seabed.
This award was recorded in Q3 2025 in the Technology, Products & Services segment.
