Babcock &amp; Wilcox (B&amp;W) (NYSE: BW) announced that it has been awarded a contract to conduct a full-scale feasibility study of its SolveBright™ carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology to be integrated into Mälarenergi AB’s waste-to-energy plant in Västerås, Sweden.Mälarenergi’s goal is to capture 400,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually, permanently store the CO2 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2035.B&amp;W’s <a href="https://www.babcock.com/home/environmental/decarbonization/post-combustion-co2-scrubbing/">SolveBright scrubbing system</a> is a post-combustion carbon capture technology that absorbs CO2 directly from a plant’s flue gas in an absorber using a regenerable solvent.“We’re pleased to collaborate with Mälarenergi on this feasibility study to demonstrate how B&amp;W’s advanced SolveBright technology can dramatically reduce the Västerås plant’s greenhouse gas emissions,” said B&amp;W Chief Operating Officer Jimmy Morgan. “We look forward to contributing our many decades of expertise in waste-to-energy and flue gas purification in support of this important customer.”The study will focus on the integration of B&amp;W’s SolveBright system with the waste-to-energy plant and district heating system, the management and identification of usable heat, the optimization and rebalancing of the waste-to-energy facility and selecting the best technical configuration for higher operational efficiency.“We are excited to work with B&amp;W on the integration study of the capture plant in our waste-to-energy facility,” said Mälarenergi Project Manager Ivette Farias. “This project will facilitate our path towards energy transition, driving our company to our ambitious net-zero target.”Mälarenergi’s waste-to-energy plant supplies 50 percent of Västerås’ district heating, helping reduce electricity consumption and ensuring energy is available for other needs. By integrating carbon reduction efforts and capturing emissions, waste-to-energy facilities such as the Västerås plant play a pivotal role in advancing Sweden's goal of reaching net-zero emissions.B&amp;W’s SolveBright technology is part of its ClimateBright™ suite of clean energy and decarbonization technologies. B&amp;W's ClimateBright technologies can reduce carbon impact in a multitude of ways: with post-combustion or pre-combustion carbon capture, by utilizing cleaner-burning fuels, or by harnessing the energy from a vast array of feedstock to generate hydrogen, steam or syngas with carbon isolation.
