SLB (NYSE: SLB), a global energy technology company, has announced the successful commissioning of a state-of-the-art modular carbon capture plant at Twence’s waste-to-energy facility in Hengelo, Netherlands.
This innovative project, developed by SLB Capturi, marks a significant milestone in the fight against climate change and the pursuit of sustainable energy solutions.
The newly operational plant boasts an impressive capacity to capture up to 100,000 metric tonnes of CO2 annually.
This captured carbon dioxide will find practical applications in the horticulture and food and beverage sectors, contributing to a more circular economy.
At the heart of this achievement lies SLB Capturi‘s standard, modular Just Catch design.
This innovative approach streamlines the installation process, reducing on-site work and offering a more cost-effective and easily deployable solution compared to existing alternatives in the market.
Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi, expressed pride in their collaboration with Twence, stating: “We are extremely proud of our collaboration with Twence to bring online the first modular carbon capture plant at a waste-to-energy facility.”
He emphasised the growing importance of accessible and effective carbon capture technologies in meeting increasingly stringent emissions reduction targets.
Marc Kapteijn, CEO of Twence, shared his enthusiasm for the project’s completion, highlighting the innovative and sustainable nature of the undertaking.
He announced plans to begin supplying CO2 to the greenhouse horticulture sector this spring, underscoring the plant’s crucial role in Twence’s ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions and achieve its sustainability goals.
This groundbreaking project represents a significant step forward in the development of modular carbon capture technology.
As industries worldwide grapple with the challenge of reducing emissions, the success of this plant in Hengelo may serve as a model for future installations, potentially accelerating the adoption of carbon capture solutions on a global scale.
