SLB, Aker Carbon Capture JV Awarded Carbon Removal Contract

CO280 Solutions has awarded SLB and Aker Carbon Capture’s joint venture (JV) the front end engineering and design (FEED) contract for a large-scale carbon capture plant at a pulp and paper mill on the U.S. Gulf Coast, the Aker JV said on Aug. 1.

The project aims to remove 800,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually and deliver permanent, verifiable and affordable carbon dioxide removals (CDRs).

“Partnerships are the key to removing megatons of carbon before 2030,” CO280 CEO Jonathan Rhone said in the press release. “By capturing and permanently storing biogenic CO₂ at mills, we can unlock a vast carbon removal opportunity in the pulp and paper industry and scale up the CDR market.”

The concept design for the FEED of the carbon capture plant is based on the Just Catch 400, the joint venture’s standardized and modular technology that enables the pre-fabrication of carbon capture units. The JV is already delivering both Just Catch solutions to several sites in the bioenergy, cement and waste-to-energy sectors.
