Kent awarded FEED for Prinos CO2 handling/injection site offshore Greece
Energean subsidiary EnEarth has asked Kent to perform front-end engineering design (FEED) for the Prinos CO2 storage project offshore northern Greece.
Kent’s scope related to the planned CO2 handling and storage facility, which will receive, store, transport and inject CO2 into the Prinos aquifer beneath the existing reservoir.
The project is said to be the first of its type in the Mediterranean Sea to secure an environmental permit and a storage permit.
It has also been included in the Union list of Projects of Common Interest, with funding from the EU’s Connecting Europe Facility and the Greek Recovery and Resilience Facility.
EnEarth has designed the facilities to receive and process up to 2.8 MMmt/year of liquid CO2 by 2029.
This will be shipped from various emitters via marine carriers to a new marine terminal at the Sigma plant near Kavala, where it will be stored temporarily before being conditioned, pumped and transported through a new subsea pipeline to a CO2 injection and water production at the existing offshore Prinos complex.
