Technip Energies and Canada-based Svante have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to further develop Svante’s solid sorbent carbon capture technology and provide integrated solutions from concept to project delivery.

The partnership will explore opportunities in Europe, Middle-East and Africa (EMEA) and Russian Federation markets where Svante’s technology would be selected by end clients for industrial carbon capture projects, including cement & limestone, blue hydrogen, refineries, petrochemicals, steel, ammonia and pulp & paper facilities. The cooperation will be worldwide for blue hydrogen plants using Technip Energies’ Steam Methane Reformer technology.

The carbon-capture facilities will use Svante’s solid sorbent technology to capture carbon directly from industrial post-combustion flue gases as a non-intrusive “end-of-the-pipe’’ solution to produce pipeline-grade carbon dioxide. Svante innovative net-zero technology captures carbon dioxide, concentrates it, and releases it for safe storage or industrial use, all in less than 60 seconds, by using proprietary active capture nano-materials called “solid sorbent filter’’.

Through this collaboration, both companies intend to address the critical need of lowering the capital cost of the capture of the carbon dioxide emitted from industrial production in order to achieve the world’s net-zero carbon goals required to stabilize the climate. Leaders from industry, financial sectors and government agree on the enormity of the challenge and the critical need to deploy more than 2,000 carbon capture and carbon removal plants by 2040. This is equivalent to put in operations about 2 plants a week over the next 20 years.

“We are glad to collaborate with Svante on their emergent carbon capture technology for the decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries by leveraging our expertise in technology co-development and integration as well as design, procurement and construction of carbon capture plants," said Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies. "This partnership clearly reflects the significant role of industrial-scale technologies to accelerate the transition towards a low-carbon society.’’
