Norwegian Government to build carbon capture facility capable of capturing
over 1 million tonnes of CO2 per year
The Norwegian Government will build a carbon capture and storage facility
capable of capturing over 1 million tonnes of CO2 per year, making it
potentially the world's largest to date.
The new facility will be built at a natural gas power plant in Norway. There
have been four companies selected in the process, one of which is HTC PurEnergy
who has developed its carbon capture technology at the University of Regina,
Saskatchewan, Canada. The program will involve the construction of a carbon
capture facility capable of capturing one million tonnes of CO2 per year, as
well as installing pipelines for transport and storage of CO2 in geological
formations.
The Asia-Pacific rights to the HTC technology are held by Brisbane-based EESTech
Inc.
The HTC Purenergy CCS is the world's first pre engineered, modular built CO2
capture system, which can also be retrofitted onto existing power plants. When
integrated with EESTech's Hybrid Coal Gas Turbine, which utilises waste coal,
methane or biomass to produce the energy required by the HTC Purenergy CCS, the
cost of capture is significantly reduced.
