SLB Capturi is a carbon capture (CCUS) technology provider established in 2024 as a joint venture between SLB and Aker Carbon Capture.[1][2] The company develops and supplies post-combustion carbon capture plants for industrial applications. SLB Capturi is headquartered in Oslo, Norway.

SLB Capturi supplies standardized modular carbon capture plants and custom-designed plants for industrial emitters. The product portfolio includes standardized modular plants (Just Catch), offshore capture systems (Just Catch Offshore), large industrial plants (Big Catch), and transportable Mobile Test Units (MTUs).[3] The company’s technology is used in sectors such as cement, waste-to-energy, and bioenergy.

History

[edit]

The technological origins of SLB Capturi are linked to carbon capture development within the Aker group, which began in the late 1990s and included involvement in Norwegian carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiatives such as the Sleipner CO₂ storage project.[4] In 2008, Aker Clean Carbon AS was established to focus on carbon capture technology and project execution.[5]

From 2008 to 2016, Aker Clean Carbon coordinated the SOLVit research programme in collaboration with SINTEF, NTNU, and Gassnova.[6][7] In 2009, the company designed and constructed the amine-based capture plant at Technology Centre Mongstad and supported its initial operation.[8]

Aker Clean Carbon was initially owned by Aker Capital and Aker Solutions, with Aker Solutions acquiring full ownership in 2012.[9] In 2020, the carbon capture activities of Aker Solutions were consolidated into Aker Carbon Capture ASA, which was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.[10]

In March 2024, SLB and Aker Carbon Capture announced an agreement to combine their carbon capture businesses, forming a joint venture.[11] The transation was completed in June 2024, establishing SLB Capturi.[12]

Operations

[edit]

SLB Capturi provides engineering, plant delivery, EPC execution, technology licensing, and operational services for industrial carbon capture.[13] The company supplies post-combustion capture systems to industries including cement, waste-to-energy, bioenergy, gas-fired power generation, and pulp and paper, refining, and materials-processing.

As of 2025, the company reports delivery of multiple carbon capture plants in the cement, waste-to-energy, and bioenergy sectors.[14] The technology has also been applied through field pilot and demonstration activities in additional industries, including pulp and paper.

Major projects

[edit]

SLB Capturi has delivered or is delivering several industrial carbon capture plants in Europe.[15]

Technology

[edit]

SLB Capturi’s core platform is Advanced Carbon Capture (ACC), an amine-based post-combustion technology for industrial flue gas.[16] The ACC process captures CO₂ from industrial flue gas using amine-based solvent systems. These solvents absorb CO₂, producing captured CO₂ with purities typically above 99.9 percent. The technology is typically designed for capture rates of approximately 95 percent, depending on flue-gas composition and plant configuration.

Capture capacity depends on plant configuration. Standardized modular plants are typically designed for approximately 100,000 or 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year per unit, while larger custom-designed plants can reach capacities in the multi-million-tonne range.

Mobile Test Units

[edit]

SLB Capturi and its predecessors have operated Mobile Test Units since 2008.[17] Through Mobile Test Unit field campaigns, the capture process has been applied to flue gases from sectors including pulp and paper, natural gas-fired power generation, coal-fired power generation, heavy oil cracking, hydrogen production, char combustion, ferrosilicon and silicon production, limestone calcination, and hazardous waste incineration.

Products

[edit]

The company’s product portfolio is based on a common post-combustion capture process and is configured for different industrial scales and installation environments.[18]

Just Catch plants
Standardized modular carbon capture plants for medium-scale industrial emitters.[19]
Just Catch Offshore systems
Modular capture systems for offshore installations.[20]
Big Catch plants
Custom-designed large-scale capture plants for major industrial facilities.[21]
Mobile Test Units (MTUs)
Transportable pilot plants for on-site testing and validation.[22]

Legacy

[edit]

Although SLB Capturi was established in 2024, its technology platform incorporates development initiated within the Aker group, including early CCS projects, solvent research, pilot operations, and industrial-scale demonstrations.
