By Shardul SharmaEngineering company Wood has completed the front-end engineering and design (FEED) scope for the first phase of Aramco’s accelerated carbon capture and sequestration (ACCS) project in Saudi Arabia, the company announced on June 10.
The first phase of the project is expected to become the world’s largest carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) hub, according to Wood. It aims to capture carbon emissions from Aramco gas plant facilities near Jubail, on the east coast of Saudi Arabia, as well as from third-party emitters.
Wood's design work included greenfield dehydration and compression facilities and the pipeline network. This network features a dense-phase CO2 pipeline approximately 200 km long, intended to transport 9mn tonnes/year of emissions for sequestration within onshore geological storage by 2027.
Aramco plans to store up to 14mn tonnes/year of CO2 equivalent by 2035. Saudi Arabia's broader goal is to reach a carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) capacity of 44mn tonnes/year by 2035.
