Linde Selected by NEXTCHEM to Supply New Carbon Capture Technology to ADNOC’S Hail and Ghasha Project

Published by Todd Bush on November 4, 2024

Pullach, October 29, 2024Linde Engineering has signed an agreement with NEXTCHEM to provide carbon capture technology to Abu Dhabi National Oil Company’s (ADNOC) Hail and Ghasha project.

Located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the project is one of the world’s largest offshore sour gas developments and aims to operate with net zero emissions.

Linde Engineering will provide its newest adsorption-based carbon capture solution HISORP® CC, to efficiently capture and purify carbon dioxide (CO2) for sequestration (CCS), significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the production process of natural gas and oil. In line with ADNOC’s strategy to reduce carbon emissions, the project aims to capture 1.5 million tonnes per year (mtpa) of carbon dioxide and store it underground.

Linde will supply their carbon capture technology plus the core units, working closely with NEXTCHEM, part of MAIRE Group, an internationally leading technology and engineering solutions provider from Italy.

“We are proud to be chosen as technology provider by NEXTCHEM for this international lighthouse project as it aligns with our commitment to support the decarbonization of energy production and industry,” said John van der Velden, Senior Vice President Global Sales & Technology at Linde Engineering. “Our HISORP® CC technology, implemented in this world-scale project, is contributing towards ADNOC’s goal of net zero emissions.”

Unlike chemical-based amine systems, Linde’s HISORP® CC is an electrically-driven solution and is able to power the carbon capture process entirely with renewable energy. It combines pressure swing adsorption with cryogenic separation and compression to achieve CO2 capture rates of over 99 percent. The process does not require steam for regeneration, so this does not increase the carbon footprint.

Linde will also use its HISORP® carbon capture technology in its recently announced world-scale integrated clean hydrogen and atmospheric gases facility to supply clean hydrogen to Dow’s Fort Saskatchewan Path2Zero Project in Alberta, Canada.
