hydrogen production plants, and facilities for carbon capture, utilization and
storage (CCUS). Opportunities for other projects within the process and energy
industries will also be explored.
The duo has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) and established a team
with key people from both organizations. The combination of Aker Solutions and
Doosan Babcock provides a full engineering, procurement, construction and
installation (EPCI) solution for the UK’s progressive energy transition agenda.
The two companies have already identified some key prospects which they are
positioning for.
“The joint offer from Aker Solutions and Doosan Babcock provides the customers
with an offer to deliver complete, sustainable energy facilities based on the
proven track record of both companies,” said Kjetel Digre, CEO of Aker
Solutions. “This is also an important step for our objective to grow within
projects related to the energy transition, and for our strategy to establish
business models with solid partners where this can add value.”
“This strategic agreement enables both companies to work together in a highly
integrated manner, to pursue some of the largest and most exciting low-carbon
projects in the UK,” said Andrew Colquhoun, CEO of Doosan Babcock. “Our
complementary capabilities will ensure a highly attractive offering for our
customers.”
Aker Solutions has operations in more than 20 countries worldwide. In the UK,
the company’s key locations are in Scotland and South East England. The company
has for 50 years delivered complete solutions to oil and gas operators, spanning
concept development, engineering, construction, installation, subsea technology
and support to facilities in operation offshore and onshore. Over the past
years, Aker Solutions has established substantial business within
decarbonization and renewables.
“We will maintain our already strong position within the oil and gas market, and
in parallel grow within low-carbon solutions and zero-emission energy projects.
We are already a key contractor for the world’s largest full-scale carbon
capture and storage project, and we are currently engaged in early-phase work
for customers with plans for new hydrogen projects. Built on the established
expertise and capabilities we have, we see exciting opportunities to build more
industrial activities in the UK,” said Digre.
As a part of the global Doosan group, Doosan Babcock is an engineering and
construction company in the UK. The company has a solid track record from
onshore projects and construction of power plants in the UK and has also
experience from carbon capture plant projects.
