Equinor (EQNR) Sparks Green Revolution With HLNG Electrification
Read MoreHide Full Article
Equinor ASA, (EQNR - Free Report) the Norwegian state-owned energy giant, is taking significant steps toward the electrification of Hammerfest LNG (“HLNG”), a crucial component of the Snøhvit Future project.
The Norwegian energy giant recently sealed a call-off option, entering into an agreement with Multiconsult Norge, a subsidiary of Multiconsult, for the engineering of the grid connection to Hammerfest LNG. The Snøhvit Future project, of which HLNG is a vital part, aims to enhance Norway's standing as a reliable supplier with a low greenhouse gas emission footprint.
The call-off option includes management assistance and follow-on engineering during the construction and commissioning phases of the project. The contract's estimated value to Multiconsult is pinned at NOK 190 million ($18 million), with the project set to commence immediately and conclude in 2028.
Multiconsult, having secured the detailed engineering contract for the grid connection, will undertake comprehensive multidisciplinary engineering. This involves designing the grid connection from the substation on Hyggevatn through a tunnel to Meland, as well as subsea cables to Melkøya, where the HLNG facilities are situated.
The Snøhvit Future project includes both land compression and the electrification of HLNG facilities. Leonhard Nilsen & Sønner (“LNS”) has been awarded the $142.8 million contract for this transformative work and installation. As a crucial aspect of the project, the existing gas turbine generators will be replaced by power sourced from shore, resulting in a substantial reduction of 850,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually. This translates to a noteworthy 2% decrease in Norway's annual emissions.
The ambitious project positions Norway at the forefront of sustainable energy practices, in line with the global efforts to combat climate change. Equinor's commitment to electrifying Hammerfest LNG signifies a crucial step toward a greener and more sustainable future for Norway's energy landscape.
Sunoco is among the biggest motor fuel distributors in the U.S. wholesale market in terms of volumes. By distributing more than 10 fuel brands via 10,000 convenience stores under long-term distribution contracts, the partnership will continue to generate stable cash flow.
