Aker Carbon Capture awarded feasibility study for mineral production facilities in the United States
- Aker Carbon Capture has been awarded a feasibility study to implement carbon capture for mineral production facilities in the U.S. Midwest. The combined planned capture capacity will be approximately 1.5 million tonnes CO2 per year. This represents a significant step in Aker Carbon Capture's strategy to expand into the North American market. The company is scaling up to meet the growing demand for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) in North America, fueled by strong support from the U.S. Government. According to Rystad Energy, by 2030, the total volume of CO2 captured could reach 200 million tonnes per year in this market.
- None.
The feasibility study will develop a design and cost basis for Big Catch CO2 capture and conditioning facilities. Big Catch facilities are fully integrated into the emitting production facility and include both advanced heat integration, and downstream integration, enabling record low energy consumption by making it possible to reuse energy along the value chain.
"We are excited to be working on this decarbonization project, which represents a significant step in our strategy to expand into the North American market. We are scaling up to meet the growing demand for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) in
