Today SBM Offshore announced the signature of a study with PETROBRAS for the application of Carbon Capture Modules on FPSOs.
The module design is based on a successful engineering and design study between SBM Offshore and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and qualified by DNV, based on a combination of MHI’s proprietary CO2 capture technology* and SBM Offshore’s industry leading Fast4ward® principles. This compact modular solution allows a significant reduction of the overall emissions associated with the production of oil and gas from FPSOs. The solution is being developed as part of SBM Offshore’s emissionZERO® program.
The scope of the study covers the design and the commercial evaluation of various carbon capture systems configurations to be installed on future FPSOs deployed on Petrobras fields:
- Various turbine types and machinery set up
- Various gas flow rates and gas turbine power installed
- Various CO2 concentrations and gas composition
Olivier Icyk, Chief Business Officer at SBM Offshore commented:
The signature of this study demonstrates the trust that Petrobras has in SBM Offshore as an ocean infrastructure pioneer. We continue to work towards decarbonization solutions in the design of our products and in our offshore operations. Through this study, we will be able to advance the carbon capture module design jointly with our partner MHI for CO2 reduction on future FPSOs.
* The CO2 capture solution will apply MHI’s proprietary “Advanced KM CDR Process™” technology, jointly developed with The Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc.
