Uniper chooses SLB Capturi for UK gas power project

Uniper has appointed SLB Capturi arsenic the preferred exertion licensor for c seizure astatine its projected Connah's Quay Low Carbon Power (CQLCP) task astatine Deeside successful the UK.

The determination follows the completion of a competitory front-end engineering and plan process, which commenced successful December 2024.

The CQLCP task is acceptable to employment SLB Capturi's Big Catch technology, an amine-based c seizure solution developed for extensive, flexible powerfulness procreation applications.

The strategy has been configured to run efficiently alongside state turbines astatine the site, aiming to code fluctuating energy request and the intermittent quality of renewable generation.

SLB Capturi CEO Guillaume Verhaeghe said: "This task represents an important accidental to use SLB Capturi c seizure exertion astatine standard successful powerfulness generation.

"Our solution has been configured to enactment flexible cognition of the state turbines portion capturing c dioxide efficiently. We look guardant to supporting Uniper arsenic the task progresses."

SLB Capturi's configuration for CQLCP features specialised anti-mist and vigor saver systems, targeting debased atmospheric emissions and precocious vigor efficiency.

According to the company, the enhancements are supported by process technologies and a solvent scope refined done thousands of hours of commercialized investigating and engineering studies since 2008.

Currently, 8 of SLB Capturi's plants worldwide are either operating oregon nether delivery.

The institution has implicit 5 years of acquisition collaborating with Siemens Energy and different state turbine manufacturers.

If Uniper's CQLCP task proceeds to a last concern determination and consequent declaration awards for engineering, procurement and construction, it volition people SLB Capturi's archetypal large deployment successful large-scale gas-fired powerfulness generation.

Previously, the company's installations person focused connected sectors specified arsenic cement, bioenergy and waste-to-energy.

SLB Capturi presently has much than 30 projects astatine assorted stages, including precocious improvement and operation.

The planned installation would beryllium constructed adjacent to the existing Uniper powerfulness station, with captured CO₂ piped to section infrastructure being developed arsenic portion of the HyNet concern cluster.

The captured c dioxide would beryllium transported for imperishable retention successful repurposed offshore state fields.

Uniper is targeting a imaginable generating capableness of up to 1.38GW from the caller project, to beryllium delivered successful 2 phases.

Once the archetypal signifier is complete, the presumption volition make capable energy each twelvemonth to powerfulness astir 1.1 cardinal homes.
