Aker Carbon Capture ASA Celebrates SLB Capturi's First Modular Carbon Capture Plant Completion

Aker Carbon Capture ASA's Major Milestone

Aker Carbon Capture ASA (ACC ASA) has recently marked a significant achievement in the field of sustainable technology. The company proudly announced that SLB Capturi has successfully commissioned its very first modular carbon capture plant, located at Twence's waste-to-energy facility in Hengelo, Netherlands. This event is viewed not just as a company milestone, but as a promising advancement in the global effort to mitigate climate change.

Overview of the New Facility

The innovative plant is based on SLB Capturi's efficient, modular design known as Just Catch™, a system that stands out due to its simplified on-site installation process. This design minimizes the need for extensive outfitting work, making it both a cost-efficient and easier-to-deploy solution compared to other alternatives in the market. The facility boasts a remarkable capacity, capable of capturing up to 100,000 metric tons of CO2 each year, significantly contributing to decarbonization efforts.

Impact on Industries

Crucially, the CO2 captured from this facility will be directed towards practical applications in sectors such as horticulture and the food and beverage industry. This repurposing of captured carbon is expected to spur innovation and sustainability within these industries, showcasing a forward-thinking approach to carbon management.

A Collaborative Effort

The establishment of SLB Capturi is a joint venture that combines the expertise of SLB and Aker Carbon Capture ASA. In this partnership, SLB maintains an 80% ownership stake while ACC ASA retains the remaining 20%. This collaboration is strategically significant, pooling the strengths and capabilities of both organizations to enhance the acceleration of industrial decarbonization on a global scale.

Looking Ahead

With the completion of this modular plant, Aker Carbon Capture ASA sets a strong precedent for future projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The company's innovative approach not only serves immediate environmental needs but also aligns with a long-term vision of sustainable industrial practices. Such developments are pivotal as industries worldwide strive to reduce their carbon footprints and transition towards cleaner operations.

As this project marks a significant leap forward, stakeholders across various sectors are hopeful that it will pave the way for similar initiatives in the near future.
