Petrofac’s consulting team, based in Woking, UK, is providing engineering support to Vantaa Energy, a Finnish urban energy company, on a project that seeks to capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) from its waste-to-energy plants.
Vantaa Energy announced that its plans for the project have taken a step forward, with the commencement of environmental impact assessment, zoning, permitting, commercial negotiations and partner procurement phases.
Petrofac delivered concept engineering for the project in 2023, engaging with seven potential storage service providers, onshore and offshore, to help Vantaa Energy identify the optimum solution. Our team will continue its support by performing engineering to support Vantaa Energy’s environmental impact assessment on its preferred concept, helping progress the project towards final investment decision, expected in 2027.
John Pearson, COO of asset solutions and energy transition projects at Petrofac says: ‘We are proud to share our growing expertise in the early engineering phases of carbon capture, transport, and storage projects across hard-to-abate sectors in support of Vantaa Energy’s decarbonisation ambitions. Projects like this reflect our continued commitment and growing role in helping our clients reduce emissions in their operations and to deploy schemes to remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.’
