ROAD, which stand  for ‘Rotterdam Opslag en Afvang Demonstratieproject’, is a CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) demonstration project.

The aim is to develop a post-combustion capture plant on the premises of MPP3 on the 1,100 MWe Coal-Fired Power Plant (CFPP) that E.ON is building on the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam.

After capturing, the CO2 will be compressed and transported per onshore/offshore pipeline (25 km long) to a platform in the North Sea. There, it will be injected into depleted gas reservoirs.

Together with Laborelec, CCS TLM, Tractebel Engineering’s subsidiary specialized in CCS, assist E.ON Benelux and Electrabel Nederland in the development of the carbon capture plant, and of the transport and storage facilities:

Phase 1: Screening of potential EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) contractors for the capture plant.

Review of the qualification files of the potential EPC contractors.

Phase 2: Selection of two potential EPC contractors to perform a FEED study for the capture plant.

Evaluation and comparison of the preliminary study and bids submitted by the six potential EPC contractors.

Phase 3: Follow-up of the FEED and selection of the EPC contractor for the capture plant and pre-FEED on the transport and storage.

Phase 4: Licensing, value engineering, transport and storage FEED studies, comprising.

Coordination of the licensing.

Value engineering carried out together with the selected EPC contractor for the capture plant.

Static and dynamic modelling of the capture plant.

Execution of the transport FEED study including flow assurance.

Follow-up of the storage FEED study carried out by TAQA, the owner of the storage site.

Follow-up of specific studies.

Phase 5: Owner’s Engineering.

HSE policy.

Design review of the engineering work carried out by the EPC contractors for the capture plant, and the transport and storage facilities         Follow-up of the procurement and construction work carried out by the EPC contractors for the capture plant, and the transport and storage facilities.

Testing and commissioning of the capture plant together with the EPC contractor.
