CANSOLV CO₂ Capture System

Our solutions can help with product specifications and restrictive emission limits within a lower cost structure. We routinely customise economic solutions to clients' environmental and regulatory problems.

Current and anticipated legislation suggests that a mandatory CO₂ emissions reduction is inevitable. Meanwhile, forecasters expect the world’s energy demand to increase by nearly 50% by 2030, meaning fossil fuels will likely represent a significant portion of the energy mix for years to come.

Shell Catalysts & Technologies has developed a CO₂ capture technology utilising a regenerable amine that offers cutting-edge performance, including low parasitic energy consumption, fast kinetics and extremely low volatility. The technology allows for the capture of CO₂ from flue gas. The CO₂ is then delivered to the client for eventual sequestration or sale into the EOR and commodity markets.

CANSOLV* Carbon Capture System can help oil & gas, power, and other industries:

Lower carbon intensity and meet stringent greenhouse gas regulations

Lower SO₂ and NO₂ emissions

Sell or reuse pure CO₂ as a marketable by-product

Avoid landfill and legacy
environmental issues
