Samsung C&T’s Engineering & Construction Group has received a letter of award from QatarEnergy LNG for a major carbon compression and transport facility project, valued at approximately KRW 1.9 trillion.
Situated around 80 kilometers north of Doha in Ras Laffan Industrial City, the project will capture and compress carbon dioxide from nearby LNG liquefaction plants, remove moisture, and transport it through 20 kilometers of underground pipelines to a depleted gas reservoir for safe and permanent storage. Completion is planned for 2030.
Once operational, the facility will manage up to 4.1 million tons of CO₂ annually, making it one of the largest carbon management projects in the Middle East and a cornerstone of Qatar’s low-carbon energy transition strategy.
Samsung C&T will execute the project independently from design through construction while applying its advanced engineering expertise to ensure high standards of safety, reliability, and efficiency. Drawing on its previous experience with large LNG developments in Qatar, the company will also collaborate with local partners and ensure minimal disruption to existing operations within the industrial complex.
“This contract builds on our long-standing success in Qatar’s major projects,” said Byung-soo Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Global Business Development at Samsung C&T E&C Group. “Alongside our renewable energy initiatives, this project highlights our commitment to supporting Qatar’s sustainability goals and advancing global low-carbon development.”
With this project, Samsung C&T further expands its footprint beyond renewables—such as solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS)—into carbon capture and transport solutions, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable infrastructure development worldwide.
