After announcing the closing of their joint venture in June 2024, SLB and Aker Carbon Capture have now shared that their new company will operate under the name SLB Capturi.
Combining valuable know-how from both its founders, SLB Capturi will focus on further development of large-scale carbon capture solutions applicable in various industrial sectors.
To that end, the company will leverage its portfolio of modular technologies, including the Just Catch™ and Big Catch™ systems, offering support in the form of equipment, turn-key projects, or process design packages.
These solutions have been tested with flue gas from diverse industrial sources to ensure their applicability and efficiency across different industries.
Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi, commented on the new announcement, “Our mission at SLB Capturi is to deliver impact at scale with carbon capture as a critical pathway to net zero. With our proven, cost-effective technologies and modular approach, we’re enabling industries to integrate carbon capture into their existing operations, driving significant carbon reduction and removal.”
As the company prepares for further advancement and innovations in the field of carbon capture, it has already managed to collaborate with multiple meaningful projects across Europe, supporting them in their decarbonization operations.
One such project is located in Brevik, Norway, where each year 400,000 tonnes of CO2 will be captured from a cement plant and shipped for permanent storage. SLB Capturi has also provided five Just Catch systems to Ørsted, who will use the technology on two biomass-to-energy sites in Kalundborg, Denmark, with a design capacity of up to 500,000 tonnes of CO2 each year.

Another waste-to-energy plant, developed by Twence in Hengelo, Netherlands, will also use technology by SLB Capturi, where 100,000 tonnes of CO2 will be captured every year, a majority of which will then be delivered in liquid form to the local horticulture sector.
Last month, SLB Capturi was awarded a FEED study contract by CO280 for a large-scale CO2 capture plant at a pulp and paper facility in the U.S. Aiming to remove 800,000 tonnes of carbon per year, the testing unit is expected to be deployed at the site during this fall.
