Ecobiz.asia — UK-based valve manufacturer BEL Valves has secured a multi-million-pound contract to supply equipment for Indonesia’s first carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) project, marking the company’s initial entry into the CCUS segment.
BEL Valves will provide a range of manual and motor-operated API 6D expanding gate valves, sized between 8 and 24 inches and rated up to class 1500, designed for low-temperature gas service and low fugitive emissions.
The CCUS development is part of a large-scale energy project in Indonesia targeting the capture of up to three trillion cubic feet of natural gas, with the potential to isolate around 15 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions in its initial phase.
However, the company did not disclose specific details regarding the CCUS project it will supply.
Managing Director of BEL Valves Paul Humphreys said the contract represents a milestone in the company’s energy transition strategy.
“This is a landmark project featuring a number of firsts that are expected to help shape best practices for CCUS developments globally,” he said in a press statement as quoted on Saturday (April 18, 2026).
The project will incorporate specialized sealing technology and enhanced validation processes, including performance testing at temperatures as low as minus 70 degrees Celsius, aimed at meeting stringent emission standards.
The contract also aligns with BEL Valves’ broader strategy following the establishment of its Hydrogen and Carbon Capture Department in 2025.
BEL Valves, part of the British Engines Group, has been supplying high-integrity valves for subsea, surface, and onshore energy projects globally since the 1960s.
The CCUS project is also in line with Indonesia’s energy transition agenda, which includes carbon capture development as part of its decarbonization efforts. ***
