VILNIUS, Lithuania – MT Group, a prominent EPC contractor specializing in strategic energy and industrial infrastructure projects across Europe, has entered into a contract with Danish energy leader Ørsted for the engineering and construction of Balance of Plant (BoP) piping and equipment for a carbon capture facility.
“The signing of this contract is a significant milestone for MT Group and underscores our commitment to advancing the renewable energy transition across Europe,” says Mindaugas Zakaras, CEO of MT Group.
Advancing Global Efforts to Combat Climate Change
This contract is part of Ørsted’s 20-year agreement with the Danish Energy Agency (DEA) for the ambitious carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, the Ørsted Kalundborg CO2 Hub. The project aims to capture and store 430,000 tons of CO2 annually from two Ørsted power stations. The captured CO2 will be transported to Northern Lights in Norway for geological storage, contributing to global climate change mitigation efforts.
Under this agreement, MT Group will oversee the engineering and construction of piping for the BoP equipment, including the installation of BoP equipment. Responsibilities include finalizing the BoP facility’s design and integrating it with the existing woodchip-fired boiler plant and the new CO2 capture and storage facility at Asnæsværket, Denmark.
MT Group will also manage the procurement, supply, construction, and installation of the entire cooling and steam systems, including pipelines, up to the interface of the CO2 capture and storage units. Additionally, the company will ensure that the scope of supply undergoes rigorous testing and commissioning to meet all regulatory and operational standards before it becomes fully operational.
Strengthening MT Group’s Renewable Energy Portfolio
This contract aligns with MT Group’s strategic focus on the renewable energy transition. “We have firmly established MT Group as a reliable EPC contractor, particularly in the development of complex natural gas and LNG projects across Europe. This contract represents a significant step in our expansion into green energy markets and enhances our position in this rapidly growing sector,” adds Mindaugas Zakaras.
