Linde Engineering to equip major ADNOC project with carbon capture tech

Linde Engineering will provide its HISORP® CC carbon capture technology for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company’s (ADNOC) Hail and Ghasha project, one of the world’s largest offshore sour gas developments.

The technology to be supplied is Linde’s newest adsorption-based carbon capture solution. It captures and purifies carbon dioxide (CO2) for sequestration to reduce the emissions in natural gas and oil production.

In the instance of the Hail and Ghasha project, the HISORP® CC carbon capture technology will contribute to ADNOC’s goal of capturing 1.5 million tonnes per annum of CO2 for underground storage.

Additionally, the project will produce low-carbon hydrogen to replace fuel gas and further reduce emissions. It will also leverage clean power from nuclear and renewable sources from the grid.

Linde will supply the technology and the core units. The company will also work closely with NEXTCHEM, which is providing the process design package of the hydrogen and carbon dioxide recovery units.

NextChem Tech’s scope of work encompasses the PDP for the raw gas compression station, the dehydration and separation unit, the CO2 compression station, and other associated facilities based on best-in-class technologies and solutions.

The company signed an agreement with Linde for the supply of the HISORP® CC tach.

John van der Velden, Senior Vice-President of Global Sales and Technology at Linde Engineering, said the company is proud to be the technology provider for the international lighthouse project.

“Our HISORP® CC technology, implemented in this world-scale project, is contributing towards ADNOC’s goal of Net Zero emissions.”
