A first-of-its-kind project, NZT Power will generate up to 742 MW of flexible, dispatchable low-carbon power—equivalent to the annual electricity requirements of more than one million UK homes. Up to two million tonnes of CO2 a year will be captured by NZT Power and then transported and stored by the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) infrastructure—the UK’s first CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure project.

Technip Energies has appointed ABL to provide marine warranty survey (MWS) for transportation operations of critical facilities, including large-scale CO2 absorber modules and pre-assembled units. The scope also includes the shipment of all the critical items and equipment to the fabrication yards.

ABL will provide technical review and approval of all project documentation, procedures, and calculations. The scope includes the delivery of suitability surveys of the proposed vessel fleet, review and approval of engineering documentation for transportation operations, and on-site attendance to review and approve all warranted operations.

“We are proud to support Technip Energies with the safe delivery of this trailblazing project to support the UK on its journey to net zero. A market-leader in MWS for major project cargo, we bring a significant track record combined with a global expertise in energy transition and sustainability development. This includes experience across more than 50 carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects worldwide via both ABL and our sister company AGR,” said Maxime Pottier, Head of MWS for ABL France.

ABL is the energy and marine consultancy branch of Aqualis ASA—a global group of specialist consultancies in energy and oceans. ABL delivers marine warranty survey services to more than 1,600 projects annually.
