A carbon capture subsidiary of Malaysia’s Petronas has agreed to collaborate and evaluate Carbon Clean’s carbon capture technology, according to an Aug. 28 news release.

The companies, which signed a memorandum of understanding, will evaluate various carbon capture methods for potential integration into different areas of Petronas’ operations. The multinational oil and gas company has said it aspires to have net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The agreement with U.K.-headquartered Carbon Clean will center the company’s CycloneCC.

“CycloneCC’s modular design enables companies to stagger their investment, adding units in line with their decarbonization goals,” said Carbon Clean CEO Aniruddha Sharma. “We are making carbon capture logistically viable and easy to scale.”

The pre-fabricated carbon capture system uses centrifugal force to increase the efficiency of the carbon capture process, the tech company said in the news release. Occupying up to 50% less space than conventional carbon capture units, Carbon Clean said CycloneCC has the potential to lower total installed cost of carbon capture by up to 50% compared to conventional units.
