SSCV Sleipnir demonstration campaign successfully completed

Capture rate of 80%+ and 1.5 tons of CO₂ liquified and stored on board

EverLoNG’s 2^nd demonstration campaign aboard the SSCV Sleipnir from Heerema Marine Contractors has concluded successfully. This important milestone – a world first for a SSCV (Semi-Submersible Crane Vessel) - was commemorated by a special certificate award to the Sleipnir crew.

Achieving just under the targeted 500 operational hours, the prototype unit, developed in the Netherlands by Carbotreat and VDL Carbon Capture, returned a capture rate of over 80% and resulted in around 1.5 tons of captured CO₂ being liquefied and stored on board.

Part of the campaign was to determine particle emissions and to assess their behaviours. This, along with further analysis of emissions and solvent degradation, is in progress. Results from the Sleipnir campaign will be published in the coming months.

EverLoNG project coordinator, Marco Linders (TNO): “The successful conclusion of the Sleipnir campaign represents another important step towards decarbonising the global maritime fleet. The EverLoNG engineers and partners have overcome challenging circumstances to deliver these results and their efforts are to be applauded.”

This follows EverLoNG’s first demonstration campaign aboard the Seapeak Arwa, which also achieved capture rates of more than 80%.
