Under this LOI, dCS will manage the overall development of CStore1, including the FSI Hub facility; TechnipEnergies will provide Pre-FEED, FEED, and engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (“EPCI”) services for the FSI Hub facility using its C-Hub(TM) technology; and MOL will provide the Pre-FEED service for CO2 shipping scope and closely work with dCS and TechnipEnergies in relation to the FSI Hub facility scope.
"The FSI Hub is a key facility within the overall CStore1 project for unlocking a range of remote offshore CO2 injection sites. The LOI with MOL and T.EN ensures technical confidence to develop CStore1 as the first offshore floating CCS hub project in Asia Pacific region,” says Jack Sato, Chairman of dCS.
