Our history
Our unique carbon capture technology has been developed since 2005 and offered commercially since 2009. We have more than 60 000 hours of operating experience from among others the US, Germany, Scotland and Norway.
Aker Carbon Capture unique post combustion capture technology has been developed during an eight years’ comprehensive R&D program (SOLVit), where the performance of numerous solvent mixtures were tested and compared. Our plants offer several advantages such as low energy requirements, very robust solvent, and excellent HSSE performance.
Aker Carbon Capture, previously a division of Aker Solutions, carries all the 20 years of Aker Solutions’ CCUS experience, experts, technology and project references. We are headquartered in Norway with representation in several Northern European countries as well as global reach through the Aker group.
Our proven technology
Aker Carbon Capture’s market-leading technology is validated by an extensive track-record and long-term operations at industrial scale. Aker Carbon Capture technology is cost-effective, robust and flexible, and it can be applied to existing plants or new builds. Our process technology has more than 50,000 operating hours and is certified by DNV GL for multiple applications.
Our proprietary carbon capture process uses a mixture of water and organic amine solvents to absorb the CO₂. This process can be applied on emissions from various sources, from gas, coal, cement, refineries, and waste-to-energy through to hydrogen and other process industries.
