Technip to supply all-electric CO₂ loading arms to Northern Lights.

Technip Energies Loading Systems division has been awarded a vital contract for the supply of three liquefied CO₂ marine loading arms destined for Phase 2 of the Northern Lights project in Øygarden Norway.

A transition without hydraulics

Indeed, this contract consolidates Technip’s leadership in CO₂ management solutions. This time the innovation focuses on an all-electric design, the first of its kind in the industry. This approach completely eliminates the use of hydraulic systemsThis approach completely eliminates the use of hydraulics, setting a new industry benchmark in terms of operability, safety and environmental performance.

The decision to opt for this design was the result of a rigorous technical qualification, which demonstrated Technip Energies’ advanced performance and ability to offer advanced, ready-to-use solutions for the decarbonization market. decarbonization market.

Marine cargo arms to exceed 5 million tons per year

The delivery of these new liquid carbon dioxide transfer liquid carbon dioxide transfer systems builds on the previous success of Phase 1 of the project. At that time, Technip Energies had already supplied the first liquefied CO₂ loading arms in the world. in the world, which went into operation in the summer of 2025.

Phase 2 will also substantially increase the terminal’s throughput. Specifically, it will enable volume handling of more than 5 million tons of CO₂ per year by 2028.

The carbon infrastructure Europe needs

The adoption of these all-electric charging arms underlines the commitment to innovation and the development of the carbon management infrastructure that Europe needs. The Northern Lights project is central to this scheme. It is the world’s first open-access, cross-border CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure. This initiative is a joint venture led by energy giants such as Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies.

Therefore, the maritime terminal receives the liquefied liquefied carbon dioxide gas from various European industrial plants, stores it temporarily and then transports it offshore for permanent carbon sequestration under the seabed.

The fact that this supply has been registered in the Technology, Products and Services (TPS) segment in the third quarter of 2025 reinforces Technip’s position as a trusted partner in this pioneering CCS initiative.
