Carbon Clean announced the official opening of its new Global Innovation Centre (GIC) in Navi Mumbai, India. The GIC will be one of the world’s largest dedicated carbon capture research facilities, spanning 77,121 square feet and housing two carbon capture plants alongside state-of-the-art laboratories for solvent development, analysis, and testing. It will serve as a hub for research, innovation, and technology demonstration.
Frontier has facilitated offtakes with Arbor, a Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) company that uses waste biomass to create clean energy while removing CO2. These offtakes will enable the launch of Arbor’s first commercial facility and test the viability of a new, highly efficient BECCS approach for generating clean electricity and removing CO₂. The facility, located near Lake Charles, LA, is expected to become fully operational in 2028.
Sulzer has signed an agreement with KEZO, Zurich Oberland’s waste utilization service provider, to develop and deliver a licensed carbon capture solution for commercial validation at KEZO’s waste-to-energy plant in Hinwil. The goal is to assess integration feasibility with KEZO’s processes in preparation for its new municipal solid waste incineration plant planned for 2030.
NEXTCHEM has been awarded about €210 million basic engineering and critical proprietary equipment supply contract for the Pacifico Mexinol project. This ultra-low carbon methanol production facility will be located in Sinaloa, Mexico, and will have a capacity of 2.1 million tons per year. Once operational in 2029, it is poised to be the largest single ultra-low carbon methanol facility in the world – producing approximately 350 thousand metric tons.
Ground-breaking technology developed at Trinity, which captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, is being put through its paces at Dublin Airport – with the team behind its creation hoping to demonstrate its wider potential for capturing carbon in the aviation and e-fuel industries. This deployment marked the first industrial-scale field test of the technology.
