        北极光（Northern Lights），一家石油巨头Equinor、壳牌（Shell）和道达尔能源（TotalEnergies）的合资企业。该公司近期订购了第三艘风力辅助液化天然气（LNG）驱动液化二氧化碳（LCO2）运输船，并选择芬兰旋翼帆制造商挪世航力（Norsepower）被为该船配备旋翼帆。

        据介绍，北极光（Northern Lights）公司第三艘容量达7500立方米的液化二氧化碳（LCO2）运输船不仅会采用Norsepower公司旋翼帆，而且将使用液化天然气（LNG）双燃料发动机，从而减少二氧化碳排放。

        北极光（Northern Lights）公司上个月在大连重工集团海洋工程有限公司（Dalian Shipbuilding Offshore Co.，简称DSOC）订购了第三艘船。新船将沿袭其姊妹船的特点，配备风力推进系统和空气润滑系统。

        投入运营后，该船将装载从工业排放源收集经过液化处理的二氧化碳，将其运送到北极光（Northern Lights）公司位于挪威厄伊加登（Øygarden）的收气设施。

        这家北极光（Northern Lights）合资企业拥有挪威大陆架（Norwegian Continental Shelf）首张二氧化碳封存许可证，是挪威政府Longship碳捕计划与气候战略的关键。   

        该公司指出，随着去碳化目标的不断收紧，船舶建造融入清洁技术方案是一种能最大限度促进降本增效且符合相关法规的途径。

        挪世航力（Norsepower）公司强调说：“仅我司生产的旋翼帆就能减少5-25%的污染排放。长此以往看来，其极具节省燃料和保护地球的潜力。

Northern Lights to fit LNG-powered, wind-assisted LCO2 carrier with Norsepower’s rotor sails

Finnish rotor sail manufacturer Norsepower has been selected to provide rotor sails for the third LNG-powered, wind-assisted LCO2 carrier recently ordered by Northern Lights, a joint venture between oil majors Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies.

As explained, the third Northern Lights 7,500 cbm LCO2 carrier will be powered by an LNG dual-fuel engine, in addition to a Norsepower Rotor Sails, to reduce CO2 emissions. 

Northern Lights placed the order for the third ship at Dalian Shipbuilding Offshore Co. (DSOC) last month. The new ship will bear the characteristics of its sister vessels and feature a wind-assisted propulsion system and air lubrication.

Once operational, the ship will load captured and liquefied CO2 from industrial emitters and transport it to the Northern Lights receiving facilities in Øygarden, Norway.

The Northern Lights joint venture holds Norway’s inaugural CO2 storage license on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, and it is a key component of the government’s Longship initiative and climate strategy.   

With tightening decarbonization targets, combining clean technology solutions offers a gateway to maximize fuel efficiency, minimize costs and stay compliant with regulations, the firm noted. 

“With the Norsepower Rotor Sail alone contributing between 5-25% emissions savings, the cumulative potential to save fuel and the planet is significant.,” Norsepower highlighted.
