BEL Valves Secures Multi-Million Contract for Indonesia’s First CCUS Project

BEL Valves has announced a major breakthrough in its energy transition strategy after securing its first Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) contract in a multi-million-pound agreement linked to Indonesia’s first large-scale CCUS development. The contract will see BEL Valves supply a range of specialist valve systems for the landmark project, marking the company’s entry into the fast-growing carbon capture sector and reinforcing its capabilities in low-emission energy infrastructure.
BEL Valves, part of the British Engines Group, will provide manual and motor-operated API 6D expanding gate valves for the facility. The valves will range in size from 8 inches to 24 inches nominal bore and carry Class 1500 pressure ratings. They have been designed for low-temperature gas service and low fugitive emissions performance, meeting the demanding requirements of carbon capture operations.
The Indonesian CCUS project forms part of a wider energy development focused on recovering approximately three trillion cubic feet of natural gas. In its initial phase, the facility is expected to capture and isolate up to 15 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, supporting cleaner production and lower environmental impact.
BEL Valves said the project includes several technical milestones expected to help shape future best practices for similar developments worldwide. Among them is newly engineered sealing technology created specifically for this application, as well as expanded qualification standards for low fugitive emissions.
These innovations enable the company’s expanding gate valves to operate in temperatures as low as -70°C, making them suitable for challenging processing environments where conventional equipment may face limitations. The award represents an important step in BEL Valves’ broader strategy to support the global shift toward cleaner energy systems. In May last year, the company announced the launch of a dedicated Hydrogen and Carbon Capture Department to focus on emerging sectors such as CCUS, hydrogen production and other decarbonisation technologies.
Company representatives said the latest contract validates that strategic investment and demonstrates increasing international demand for specialist valve technologies capable of supporting new energy infrastructure.
The Indonesian project also aligns with the country’s sustainability priorities under the G20 framework, where energy transition has been identified as one of the nation’s key focus areas. Indonesia has been promoting cleaner energy solutions, emissions reduction and long-term environmental resilience as part of its global agenda.
