The project has the potential to capture several hundred thousand tonnes of CO2 annually. Metal production has significant emissions from both energy use and chemical processes, which cannot be eliminated simply by switching to renewable power. CapsolEoP® is well-suited for metal production, offering large-scale CO2 capture with low energy consumption and without the need for external steam, distinguishing it from other technologies such as amines. 

"We are already establishing ourselves as a preferred carbon capture technology for bio-CCS, cement and gas turbines through a growing portfolio of engineering studies, CapsolGo® demonstration campaigns, licensing agreements and FID on one of Europe’s largest carbon capture facilities of its kind," said Cato Christiansen, Chief Technology Officer at Capsol Technologies. "This study, together with the recent studies announced for refinery and lime, demonstrates that our technology can be attractive for several more hard-to-abate industries."  

Globally, metal production accounts for close to 10 percent of total CO2 emissions, driven both by high energy demand and by the chemical reactions inherent in smelting  

processes. With growing demand for low-carbon materials from industries such as automotive and construction, and with regulators tightening emission requirements across Europe, carbon capture is expected to play a critical role in the sector’s decarbonization.
