BERLIN, Germany – Aker Carbon Capture and MAN Energy Solutions have agreed to co-operate on development of energy-efficient compression solutions for carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications with heat recovery.
Their joint target is to reduce the cost of removing CO2 emissions from industrial plants worldwide.
MAN brings experience in compressor technology, integration of system components and their design and delivery, while Aker Carbon Capture provides its proprietary amine technology and carbon-capture process design.
The two companies aim to develop carbon capture solutions that require less energy. Transfer of heat is said to be key for improved power consumption at carbon capture plants. MAN can recover heat from its compression systems, and the steam generated should cover almost half the power demand at Aker’s capture plant.
