Ohio-based Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) on Nov. 11 said it landed a contract to conduct a full-scale feasibility study of its carbon capture technology’s use by Swedish power company Mälarenergi.
The study will focus on incorporating B&W’s SolveBright CO2 capture technology into Mälarenergi’s waste-to-energy plant and district heating system in Västerås, Sweden. The city-owned electric power and district heating provider aims to capture and permanently store 400,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually and achieve carbon neutrality by 2035, according to a news release.
B&W said its post-combustion carbon capture technology absorbs CO2 from a plant’s flue gas in an absorber using a regenerable solvent.
The study will also cover the management and identification of usable heat, optimization and rebalancing of the waste-to-energy facility and selecting the best technical configuration for higher operational efficiency, the release stated.
