Statoil has made good progress in solving the challenges associated with amine emissions from carbon capture at Mongstad.

Through the full-scale CO2 capture project at Mongstad (CCM), Statoil and Gassnova have developed a set of methods for conducting adequate risk assessment as regards emissions from amine technologies. This will make it possible to test whether emissions from amine technologies will be under the limit values set by the Norwegian Climate and Pollution Agency (Klif).

“We are very pleased that we have developed a toolbox that enables us to analyse emissions from open amine facilities for capture of CO2, including assessing the degree to which humans and the environment are exposed to hazardous components from such facilities,” says Arne Myhrvold, head of HSE in Statoil’s CCM project.
