Rejlers has secured an engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract with energy company Equinor for the Northern Lights carbon dioxide (CO₂) storage project in Øygarden, Norway.

The contract involves the installation of a CO₂ quality monitoring system and the integration of filter skids at the facility.

This project is seen as a significant step in the development of the world’s first open-source infrastructure for CO₂ transport and storage.

The award of the new contract follows Rejlers’ contributions during the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase, the company said in a statement.

Rejlers Norway country manager Ragnar Holtan said: “This assignment is a testament to the trust we have earned through our work in the FEED phase. We are proud to contribute to one of Europe’s most ambitious carbon capture and storage [CCS] projects and to bring our cross-border engineering expertise to the table.”

The company is now tasked with the complete EPCI delivery, which encompasses detailed engineering, procurement, subcontractor coordination, and commissioning.

The project is a collaborative effort between Rejlers teams in Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

The Northern Lights joint venture, a partnership between Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies, is part of Norway’s CCS initiative, Longship.

The project aims to facilitate the safe and permanent storage of carbon dioxide, offering services to companies throughout Europe.

Rejlers, an engineering consultancy with a presence in the Nordics and the United Arab Emirates, employs 3,300 individuals. The company is engaged in various sectors, including energy, buildings, infrastructure, and defence.

Rejlers Group sustainability director Malin Ljung Eiborn said: “Northern Lights is a key component in Europe’s climate transition. By ensuring high CO₂ quality for storage, we help establish a robust and safe infrastructure for carbon storage, which is essential to achieving climate targets.”
