Svante and Mercer International Advance Carbon Capture Project at Alberta Pulp Mill
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Svante Technologies Inc., a leader in carbon capture and removal technology, today announced that its joint carbon capture and storage project with Mercer International Inc. has advanced to the Front-end Engineering and Design Phase 2 (FEL-2). Also known as Pre-FEED, this phase involves engineering, cost estimation, and risk analysis to evaluate the project's commercial viability. Mercer is a global producer of sustainably sourced forest products, including pulp, lumber, mass timber, biomass-based green energy, and bioextractives.

The carbon capture project targets biogenic CO2 emissions from Mercer’s Peace River pulp mill, where the biomass (fibre) is sourced from sustainably managed forests. Advancing to the Pre-FEED stage will support further development of the integrated design.
The carbon capture project targets biogenic CO2 emissions from Mercer’s Peace River pulp mill, where the biomass (fibre) is sourced from sustainably managed forests. Advancing to the Pre-FEED stage will support further development of the integrated design, cost estimates, and risk assessments—key steps toward a final investment decision and potential implementation. This milestone reflects the growing momentum for carbon capture solutions within Canada’s pulp and paper sector.
Matt Stevenson, Chief Revenue Officer at Svante, said the advancement to Pre-FEED demonstrates the company’s momentum in the pulp and paper sector. “We are thrilled to advance this project with Mercer at their Peace River mill to the pre-FEED stage. This will demonstrate the viability of our technology for the pulp and paper industry in Western Canada, enabling carbon removal at scale by working in tandem with nature and highlighting our commitment to providing sustainable solutions for an industrial future.”
Svante’s second-generation carbon capture technology is engineered for commercial-scale deployment in industrial environments such as pulp mills—settings where integration must be cost-effective, modular, and resilient to operational variability. As decarbonization efforts intensify across heavy industry, this project offers a timely opportunity to demonstrate how advanced capture systems can be applied within existing infrastructure.
At the core of Svante’s solution is its structured sorbent filter system, which uses solid materials coated with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)—nanomaterials specifically designed to capture CO2 molecules selectively. These filters represent a meaningful evolution over earlier carbon capture systems, offering reduced energy requirements and broader industrial applicability.
Utilizing a Novel Carbon Capture Technology for Commercial Deployment, Svante's second-generation capture technology maximizes low-grade waste heat from pulp mills, reducing energy consumption and increasing cost-effectiveness. Svante’s technology also provides:
Bill Adams, Chief Sustainability Officer at Mercer International, said the collaboration with Svante reflects Mercer’s drive to lead practical climate innovation in the forest sector. “Studying carbon capture in a commercial mill setting gives us a valuable opportunity to assess its long-term potential—both for our own operations and for advancing decarbonization pathways across the industry.”
The project represents a meaningful step toward enabling industrial carbon capture in Canada’s pulp and paper sector—advancing practical climate solutions from concept to potential deployment.
Svante is a purpose-driven, leading carbon capture and removal solutions provider. The Vancouver, Canada-based company manufactures nanoengineered filters and modular rotary contactor machines that capture and remove CO2 from industrial emissions and the air in an environmentally responsible manner. Svante is on TIME & Statista’s Top Greentech Companies of 2025, the 2025 Global Cleantech 100, the XPRIZE Foundation’s XB100 – World’s Top 100 Deep Tech Companies, and was ranked second among private companies in the Corporate Knights’ Future 50 Fastest Growing Sustainable Companies.
