Aker Carbon Capture ASA's Annual General Meeting 2025: Key Outcomes and Strategic Direction

On April 29, 2025, Aker Carbon Capture ASA convened its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in a fully digital format, allowing shareholders to participate remotely. This innovative approach accommodated a wide audience, showcasing the company's commitment to openness and accessibility in governance. The agenda covered various critical resolutions that were adopted unanimously, demonstrating strong shareholder support.

Among the most significant decisions was the election of Karl Erik Kjelstad as the new chair of the board of directors, taking over from Kristian Monsen Røkke. Alongside Kjelstad, Lif Monica Stubholt and Oscar Fredrik Graff were re-elected for their current positions, reinforcing stability in the company's strategic direction. Notably, Lars Peder Sørvaag Sperre stepped into the role of deputy director, adding fresh perspectives to the leadership team.

The board now comprises:

• - Karl Erik Kjelstad (Chair)
• - Liv Monica Stubholt (Director)
• - Oscar Fredrik Graff (Director)
• - Lars Peder Sørvaag Sperre (Deputy Director)

This leadership structure aligns with Aker Carbon Capture's ambition to leverage over two decades of expertise in carbon capture technology, evolving into an industry leader in sustainable solutions. Following its establishment as a standalone entity in 2020, the company has continued to make integral partnerships, especially with SLB, with whom it launched a joint venture named SLB Capturi in June 2024. This collaboration signifies an expansion of resources and expertise, as the partnership allocates 80% ownership to SLB and 20% to Aker, a strategic decision aimed at rapid growth in the carbon capture sector.

The AGM served not only as a platform for electing new leadership and reaffirming existing members but also as a testament to the company's vision for a sustainable future. As environmental standards and corporate governance increasingly intertwine, Aker Carbon Capture ASA aims to position itself as a frontrunner in addressing global environmental challenges through innovation in carbon capture.

Stakeholders and investors are encouraged to keep an eye on Aker's future developments as they embark on this new chapter under refreshed leadership. The full minutes of the AGM, including detailed discussions and resolutions, can be accessed on the company’s official website at Aker Carbon Capture.
