Australian startup MCi Carbon plans to raise US$50 million to expand its carbon capture technology after opening a demonstration plant in Newcastle. The company's process converts captured CO2 into materials used in construction, positioning it to benefit from growing global demand for carbon reduction solutions.
KBR's PureSAF technology has been selected by NorSAF for a sustainable aviation fuel and e-SAF production facility in Latvia that is expected to become the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The plant is planned to produce 100,000 tons of fuel annually beginning in 2030.
Holcim has launched CaptureLab, the cement industry's first industrial-scale carbon capture test platform, in Martres-Tolosane, France. The 2,500-square-meter facility uses an open innovation model to allow manufacturers, startups and researchers to test and validate advanced capture technologies in real-world conditions. The platform launches with an initial pilot project in partnership with Air Liquide.
The U.S. Department of Energy has selected the TerraSpark Energy Campus to receive up to $18.5 million in federal funding to support development of a 1.6-gigawatt coal-fired power facility with carbon capture technology in West Virginia. The project is expected to advance engineering and permitting work while supporting energy production, carbon management and job creation.
PSB Industries is promoting a catalytic oxidation system designed to remove VOCs from CO₂ off-gas at RNG facilities, enabling operators to purify and recover CO₂ for resale while reducing emissions and lowering operating costs compared to traditional thermal oxidation methods.
