The Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and EPC specialist Carbon Circle AS has secured a multi-million-pound equity investment from Amplus Energy Services Ltd. in the UK. The proceeds from the capital raise will be allocated to support the establishment and operation of Carbon Circle UK Limited, a new carbon capture business based in Aberdeen.
Carbon Circle is already established in the Norwegian carbon capture sectors and the new entity Carbon Circle UK is poised to drive the emerging carbon capture market in the UK with the aim to become a major energy transition employer in Aberdeen.
“We are excited by our partnership with Amplus Energy, a collaboration set to enhance the growth and innovation of the carbon capture sector in the UK. The UK government’s significant commitment of £20 billion to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a testament to the strategic importance of CCS technologies in achieving national net-zero ambitions. With the support and expertise of Amplus Energy, Carbon Circle is ready to be a major contributor in the UK’s carbon capture sector”, says Aslak Hjelde, CEO of Carbon Circle.
