Carbon Capture – Just Catch 100, Asnæs Power Station & Avedøre Power Station
BMS as Lifting Technology Partner in a Danish Carbon Capture Pioneer Project
BMS A/S is proud to serve as the technical partner in the establishment of five "Just Catch 100" plants – a central part of Ørsted’s groundbreaking CO₂ capture initiatives at Asnæs and Avedøre power stations. The project is among the first of its scale in Denmark and places high demands on safety, documentation, and technical expertise in every phase.
From the early design stage in 2023, we have been closely involved through our P&E department, which has provided consulting on everything from lift planning and soil conditions to installation sequences and site optimization. This proactive role has given the project a safe and efficient starting point – in close dialogue with both SLB and Ørsted.
Three Technically Demanding Phases – From Columns to Tanks and Modules
The project is structured into three main stages, each with its own technical complexity:
The Columns. First, three steel structures, each up to 46 meters tall and weighing 100 tons, were erected using our 750-ton Liebherr 1750.9.1 mobile crane in superlift configuration with 134-ton ballast, assisted by a 450-ton crane with main boom and 134-ton ballast, along with several 6-axle SPMT setups with power packs.
The Tanks. Next came the transport and installation of three 141-ton CO₂ tanks, each 26.5 meters long. This phase employed two LTM 1450-8.1 mobile cranes in combination with 18 Goldhofer SPMT axles and dedicated push-pull teams.
The Process Modules. The final phase involved lifting six prefabricated process modules – the heaviest weighing 46 tons – handled with a 250-ton mobile crane and experienced riggers.
Flexible Capacity and Continuous Staffing
From the first lift in August 2024 with a 50tm truck-mounted crane to the completion of the fifth plant in summer 2025, we have delivered a wide range of crane solutions – from 90 to 750-ton mobile cranes, truck-mounted cranes up to 200tm, and SPMT equipment in five different configurations, along with steel plates. At several locations, we managed up to 10–15 cranes in weekly rotation to meet the demands of multiple parallel workstreams.
The project has been staffed by a dedicated core team over a 2-year period: a project manager with HSE responsibility, two experienced supervisors, and a team of specially trained crane operators and riggers. Our solution model is based on flexibility, scalability, and mutual trust – and has proven effective in collaboration with international stakeholders and subcontractors across locations.
