Carbon Centric inaugurated Norway's first Canopy by T.EN™ carbon capture unit on Oct. 16 at its Rakkestad waste-to-energy facility. Developed through an alliance between Shell Catalysts & Technologies and Technip Energies, the modular system has been operating since October 2025, capturing upward of 10,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually at above a 95% capture rate.
Direct air capture, e‑methanol production and CO₂ electrolysis technologies from Italy, France and the U.S. won the “Best CO₂ Utilisation 2026” award after a live vote at an international CCU conference, underscoring rapid progress in turning captured carbon into fuels and chemicals.
Digital measurement and integrated data systems are shaping the success of CCUS projects by improving emissions visibility, reducing risk and enabling more confident design, operation and investment decisions.
Comprehensive data from Ethanol Producer Magazine’s U.S. and Canada Fuel Ethanol Plant Map reveals a rapidly evolving carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) landscape, with more than 130 projects spanning multiple capture, transport and storage pathways.
Foxconn and Pace CCS have launched a partnership to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology by combining Foxconn’s precision manufacturing expertise with Pace CCS’s specialized design knowledge. The collaboration includes a new laboratory to test a chemical scavenger, already used in other industries, aimed at preventing corrosive reactions in CO₂ streams that can damage CCS infrastructure. Carbon capture is critical to achieving net-zero emissions, with global demand estimated at eight billion metric tons of CO₂ annually, requiring trillions of dollars in investment. Corrosion, erosion, and clogging caused by chemical reactions in CO₂ streams, including the formation of sulfuric and nitric acids, remain key technical challenges for the sector. Matthew Healey, managing director of Pace CCS, said the solution could turn a major technical challenge into a manageable operational expense, accelerating CCS deployment worldwide. Foxconn Chief Environment Officer Ron R. T. Horng added that the collaboration demonstrates how cross-industry partnerships can drive meaningful progress against climate change.
