Combating climate change requires a multi-pronged approach, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are a crucial weapon in our arsenal. SLB and Aker Carbon Capture, two industry leaders, have joined forces in a groundbreaking joint venture that promises to accelerate the adoption of these innovative technologies. This article delves into the specific technologies being developed by this collaboration and explores their potential impact on the global fight against climate change.

SLB, a global technology leader in the energy sector, and Aker Carbon Capture, a company dedicated to CCS solutions, bring a wealth of expertise to the table. Their joint venture, formed in June 2024, aims to bridge the gap between existing CCS technologies and widespread industrial adoption. This collaboration is a significant development in the global effort to achieve net-zero emissions.
Aker Carbon Capture boasts a suite of advanced carbon capture technologies built around a core element: amines. Their Just Catch™ and Big Catch™ modular plants are designed for medium- and large-scale facilities, offering a scalable solution for various industries. They have also developed Just Catch Offshore™, specifically tailored to capture emissions from offshore gas turbines. These technologies are already making a difference, with successful installations currently reducing CO2 emissions by a significant amount.

SLB isn't a one-trick pony. They contribute a diverse portfolio of solutions to the joint venture. Their non-aqueous solvent technology offers distinct advantages, while their exploration of emerging sorbent-based offerings pushes the boundaries of CCS even further. These solutions are designed with scalability and efficiency in mind, ensuring their effectiveness across various industrial applications.
The joint venture isn't wasting any time. With seven technology installations already underway, they have the potential to capture up to 1 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. These initial projects pave the way for even more widespread adoption in the future, with plans for additional installations already in motion.
The combined expertise of SLB and Aker Carbon Capture has the potential to significantly accelerate industrial decarbonization. Their technologies present a viable solution for "hard-to-abate" sectors, those that have traditionally struggled to reduce their carbon footprint. This has far-reaching implications for achieving global net-zero emissions, a critical goal for mitigating climate change.
"There is no credible pathway toward net zero without deploying carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) at scale," emphasizes Gavin Rennick, president of SLB's New Energy business. He highlights the urgency of CCS adoption for various industries in the coming decades. Egil Fagerland, the newly appointed CEO of the joint venture, echoes this sentiment. "There is no business as usual," he states, emphasizing the need for rapid innovation in CCS technologies. He expresses pride in their current projects and their role in encouraging wider adoption of CCS solutions.
The fight against climate change demands innovative solutions. The SLB and Aker Carbon Capture collaboration demonstrates the power of collaboration in accelerating the development and deployment of CCS technologies. Continued investment and innovation in this field are crucial for securing a cleaner future for our planet. Let's join them in urging further support for these groundbreaking technologies.
