A Long-Standing Partnership in Carbon Capture Technology

Technip Energies and Shell Catalysts & Technologies first joined forces in 2012 with a shared commitment to advancing energy transition technologies.

Their alliance has consistently evolved to keep pace with market demands, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability to changing environmental needs.

By merging Shell’s technology licensing expertise with Technip Energies’ project delivery strengths, they aim to address the rising demand for post-combustion carbon capture across various industries.

Together, the companies are tackling the unique challenges of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) to help industrial sectors meet stringent emissions targets.

This collaboration brings together a powerful combination of knowledge, tools, and resources, providing scalable and practical carbon capture solutions.

This integrated approach makes it possible for clients to rely on Technip Energies and Shell for support from the earliest project stages through operational management.

The CANSOLV CO₂ Capture System: A Key Asset in Carbon Capture

A central part of the alliance is the use of Shell’s proprietary CANSOLV CO₂ Capture System, a leading technology in amine-based post-combustion carbon capture.

The CANSOLV system has been refined over the years to increase its efficiency and reliability, making it a valuable tool for industrial facilities aiming to lower their carbon emissions.

With CANSOLV, the alliance provides clients with a robust carbon capture solution backed by extensive industry experience and technical know-how.

The combination of Technip Energies’ expertise in project integration and Shell’s technological advancements has already driven success in various pilot projects.

This expanded alliance enables both companies to focus on further standardizing and refining these solutions for even broader industrial applications, pushing the boundaries of what carbon capture can achieve.
