Technip Energies and Shell Catalysts & Technologies unveiled that their jointly developed improvements on the Cansolv CO₂ Capture technology are being tested in a pilot plant campaign at Fortum Oslo Varme’s waste-to-energy plant.

In response to the increased global interest in CCS, the technologists and engineers of Shell Catalysts & Technologies and Technip Energies are working closely to bring continuous improvements to the Cansolv CO₂ capture system’s process design, efficiency and costs. These efforts are to ensure improved affordability and aid wide scale deployment of carbon capture solutions by their clients.

The three-month test campaign has been kicked off in August 2021 and will entail different test phases that will support the extension of the related improvements. This is the second test campaign conducted by this collaboration. In the first campaign, the low volatility and amine emissions of the DC-103 solvent used in the process was demonstrated as well as its low absorption energy and solvent degradation.

Technip Energies and Shell Catalysts & Technologies are engaged in an alliance for the development and application of Shell’s Cansolv CO₂ capture system.
