BEL Valves – part of the British Engines Group – will supply Indonesia’s first carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) project with a range of manual and motor operated API 6D expanding gate valves, ranging from 8 in. to 24 in. nominal size, and pressure rated to class 1500. The valves will be suitable for low temperature gas service along with low fugitive emissions.
The CCUS project forms part of an at scale Indonesian energy development focused on capturing 3 trillion ft3 of natural gas and with the potential to isolate 15 million t of CO2 from emissions in its initial phase.
The project is BEL Valves’ first CCUS project win and features a number of industry firsts expected to lead best practice for other plants across the globe. These include sealing technology developed specifically for the project and enhanced qualification coverage for low fugitive emissions, enabling the expanding gate valves to operate at temperatures down to -70ºC.
The contract win marks a significant milestone in BEL Valves’ energy transition strategy, which saw the business announce the launch of its Hydrogen and Carbon Capture Department in May 2025.
The CCUS project is closely aligned with the Government of Indonesia’s agenda within the G20, where Indonesia has put forward sustainable energy transition as one of its three priority issues for G20 members.
