Samsung Engineering Collaborates with Global Companies on Carbon Capture for Middle East Plants and Ships

Canada's Svante Asia-Middle East Plant, UK Carbon Clean Ship Technology Collaboration

Samsung Engineering announced on the 5th that it has signed technology agreements with major carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) companies in Canada and the United Kingdom.

First, on the 4th (local time), a CCUS collaboration memorandum of understanding (MOU) ceremony with Canadian company Svante was held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, covering the Asia and Middle East regions. The ceremony took place during ADIPEC, the world's largest oil and gas industry exhibition. Attendees included Namgung Hong, President and CEO of Samsung Engineering, Park Cheonhong, Vice President and Head of the Sustainable Solutions Business Division, and Claude Letourneau, CEO of Svante.

Through this agreement, the two companies plan to collaborate on modularization and design optimization processes necessary for applying carbon capture facilities to plants. Svante is a company that possesses technology to capture carbon using adsorption solid-based nano filters. The two companies will cooperate to apply this technology to projects after modularization and standardization. Based on this, they plan to target the Asia and Middle East markets.

On the 3rd (local time), Samsung Engineering also signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with UK-based company Carbon Clean in the field of Onboard Carbon Capture System (OCCS) for ships. This was also conducted at the ADIPEC event. Attendees included President Namgung, Vice President Park, and Aniruddha Sharma, CEO of Carbon Clean.

Carbon Clean possesses 'CycloneCC' technology, which drastically reduces the size of carbon capture facilities using a rotary device. The two companies plan to collaborate to develop and demonstrate carbon capture facility modules optimized for the OCCS field. OCCS is a technology that captures carbon generated during ship operation. As it is considered the most reliable alternative before the commercialization of clean fuels, demand is expected to surge.

Samsung Engineering is focusing on securing technology and business development in the CCUS, hydrogen, and ammonia sectors. Based on this collaboration, it expects to further strengthen its competitiveness in the CCUS field. The company is securing technology through partnerships with domestic and international companies and increasing business opportunities by utilizing networks of major overseas clients. In particular, it is promoting the Shepherd CCS project, which captures domestically generated carbon and transports and stores it in Malaysia, in cooperation with domestic and foreign companies.

A Samsung Engineering official stated, "By combining the technological capabilities of emerging global leaders with Samsung Engineering’s experience, we will present definitive solutions in the carbon capture field," adding, "We will contribute to the activation of the global hydrogen economy and carbon neutrality through the rapid commercialization of CCUS and clean hydrogen sectors."
