Energy services group Kent has been selected to perform FEED work for the Prinos CO2 storage project in Northern Greece. The Prinos CO2 project aims to safely receive and permanently store CO2 emissions, supporting Greece’s decarbonisation goals and contributing to the EU’s climate targets. The FEED work, awarded by EnEarth, will define the technical scope and execution strategy for the project. Kent will develop the front-end engineering design for the new CO2 handling and storage facility, which will receive, store, transport, and inject CO2 into the Prinos aquifer underlying the existing reservoir. The project is the first of its kind to have been awarded environmental and storage permits in the Mediterranean, and one of the very few in Europe. It has been included in the EU’s list of Projects of Common Interest and secured funding from the EU’s Connecting Europe Facility and the Greek Recovery and Resilience Facility. The Prinos facility is being designed to receive and process up to 2.8 mtpa of liquid CO2 by 2029. CO2 will be shipped from remote emitters via marine carriers to a new marine terminal at the onshore Sigma plant near Kavala. There, it will be temporarily stored before being conditioned, pumped, and transported through a new subsea pipeline to a standalone CO2 Injection and Water Production platform within the existing Prinos complex. “Prinos represents one of Europe’s most strategically important carbon storage developments, and this FEED award marks a meaningful step toward enabling large-scale industrial decarbonisation in Greece and across the EU,” said Paul Wetton, VP of UK engineering services at Kent. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsGreece United Kingdom
