Lithuanian liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal operator KN Energies has awarded Aker Solutions with a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for its CO2 transshipment terminal infrastructure project in Klaipėda.

The planned terminal is expected to have a capacity of approximately 2.8 million tons of CO2 per year, received from industrial sources in Lithuania and Latvia and the wider Baltic region for temporary storage before being transported by ship to long-term geological storage sites located beneath the seabed in the North Sea.
