ITT’s Svanehøj has been awarded a contract by INEOS, a global leader in petrochemicals, for the supply of CO2 pumps for Project Greensand, located in the Danish North Sea.
These pumps will be integral to both the onshore facility and the pioneering LCO2 (liquefied carbon dioxide) carrier for the major carbon storage project.
This significant win solidifies Svanehøj‘s reputation as a specialist in crucial equipment for liquefied gas and reinforces its growing presence in the carbon capture and storage (CCS) sector.
Spearheaded by INEOS, Project Greensand is poised to become the EU’s first large-scale CO2 storage facility, playing a vital role in mitigating climate change.
Following successful trials, operations are anticipated to commence in late 2025 or early 2026.
INEOS recently partnered with maritime logistics provider Royal Wagenborg to build and operate the first dedicated LCO2 carrier for Project Greensand. Svanehøj will now provide the CO2 cargo pumps for this vessel, as well as the pumps for the project’s onshore facility at Port Esbjerg.

“We have worked closely with INEOS’ development team over the past year to specify customized pump solutions for both the onshore terminal and the vessel. It has been a rewarding process, allowing us to leverage our extensive expertise in CO2 and contribute to an optimized design regarding flow and pressure” said Magnus Madsen, Sales Manager, Cargo Gas, at Svanehøj.
Svanehøj’s also provides CO2 pumping systems for the Northern Lights LCO2 fleet in Norway. The Project Greensand contract further cements Svanehøj’s leadership position in the CCS market.
Project Greensand, named after the sandstone formation beneath the Danish North Sea, will establish a complete value chain.

Captured and liquefied CO2 from Danish biogas producers will be transported offshore and injected into depleted oil reservoirs in the North Sea’s Nini Field for permanent storage. This marks the beginning of the project’s commercial phase.
Initially, INEOS plans to store 400,000 metric tons of CO2 annually, starting in 2026. They envision scaling up capacity to 8 million tons per year as the availability of captured CO2 increases.
