Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) (NYSE: BW) announced today that it has been awarded a contract to conduct a full-scale feasibility study of its SolveBright™ carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture technology to be integrated into Mälarenergi AB’s waste-to-energy plant in Västerås, Sweden. “We’re pleased to collaborate with Mälarenergi on this feasibility study to demonstrate how B&W’s advanced SolveBright technology can dramatically reduce the Västerås plant’s greenhouse gas emissions.”

Mälarenergi’s goal is to capture 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, permanently store the CO₂, and achieve carbon neutrality by 2035.
B&W’s SolveBright scrubbing system is a post-combustion carbon capture technology that absorbs CO₂ directly from a plant’s flue gas in an absorber using a regenerable solvent.
“We’re pleased to collaborate with Mälarenergi on this feasibility study to demonstrate how B&W’s advanced SolveBright technology can dramatically reduce the Västerås plant’s greenhouse gas emissions,” said B&W Chief Operating Officer Jimmy Morgan. “We look forward to contributing our many decades of expertise in waste-to-energy and flue gas purification in support of this important customer.”
The study will focus on the integration of B&W’s SolveBright system with the waste-to-energy plant and district heating system, the management and identification of usable heat, the optimization and rebalancing of the waste-to-energy facility, and selecting the best technical configuration for higher operational efficiency.
“We are excited to work with B&W on the integration study of the capture plant in our waste-to-energy facility,” said Mälarenergi Project Manager Ivette Farias. “This project will facilitate our path towards energy transition, driving our company to our ambitious net-zero target.”
Mälarenergi’s waste-to-energy plant supplies 50 percent of Västerås’ district heating, helping reduce electricity consumption and ensuring energy is available for other needs. By integrating carbon reduction efforts and capturing emissions, waste-to-energy facilities such as the Västerås plant play a pivotal role in advancing Sweden's goal of reaching net-zero emissions.
B&W’s SolveBright technology is part of its ClimateBright™ suite of clean energy and decarbonization technologies. B&W's ClimateBright technologies can reduce carbon impact in multiple ways: with post-combustion or pre-combustion carbon capture, by utilizing cleaner-burning fuels, or by harnessing the energy from a vast array of feedstock to generate hydrogen, steam, or syngas with carbon isolation.
