SLB Capturi is Heidelberg Materials technology provider, and responsible for building the carbon capture plant in Brevik.

SLB Capturi is a joint venture between SLB and Aker Carbon Capture, combining the strengths and capabilities of both companies to accelerate industrial decarbonization at a global scale. The new company, combines Aker Carbon Capture's amine-based Advanced Carbon Capture™ technologies, including Just Catch™ and Big Catch™ modular plant technologies for medium- and large-scale facilities, and Just Catch Offshore™ for offshore installations, with SLB’s portfolio of technology solutions, including non-aqueous-solvent and emerging sorbent-based offerings.

Through the Aker group, we have developed carbon capture technology since the 1990s, and over the past decades, we have been scaling, industrializing, and commercializing our technology and products. The Aker group delivered Sleipner, the world’s first commercial carbon capture and storage project in 1996. In 2012, they delivered the Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM), the world’s largest and most advanced facility for testing carbon capture technologies.

The company is making carbon capture a reality today, with seven technology installations in progress that have the capacity to capture up to 1 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

SLB Capturi is backed by our two strong owners, SLB and Aker, with proven track record of building successful industrial businesses positioned for substantial growth.

Northern Lights 

Northern Lights is the carbon transport and storage project within the Norwegian CCS-demonstration project. 

Northern Lights responsibility is to transport and storage the captured CO2.  The project was initiated Equinor with partners Shell and Total.  The aim is to develop the world’s first storage facility capable of receiving CO2 from various industrial sources. 

The conditions captured CO2(liquid under pressure) will be transported by ship from the capture sites to a new CO2 reciving terminal at Naturgassparken in Øygården, outside Bergen in Norway.  The CO2 will then be injected into a suitable offshore geological storage complex via subsea injections wells and a an offshore pipeline from the CO2 receiving terminal.   

Gassnova 

Gassnova was established by Norwegian authorities to promote technology development and competence building around CCS, in addition to being the Norwegian government’s closest adviser in this field. 

Gassnova manages research and funding schemes through the CLIMIT programme and provides testing and demonstration of CCS technology at the Technology Centre at Mongstad (TCM).

Both CLIMIT and TCM are key to realising Longship, the first industrial CCS project in Europe.
