United Kingdom-based carbon seize tech agency Carbon Clear has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Petronas CCS Options Sdn Bhd (PCCSS), a subsidiary of Malaysia’s Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), to collectively collaborate and consider Carbon Clear’s carbon seize and storage (CCS) expertise.
Beneath the MoU, Carbon Clear and PCCSS will collaboratively assess carbon seize expertise, aiming to establish synergies and discover future collaboration alternatives. The main focus of the collaboration consists of evaluating varied strategies of carbon seize for potential integration into completely different areas of Petronas’ operations, Carbon Clear mentioned in a information launch.
Carbon Clear mentioned the first focus of the MoU is its CycloneCC answer, which has the potential to scale back the full put in value of carbon seize by as much as 50 % in comparison with typical options. Each firms will work collectively to discover and develop how the modular expertise can be utilized for post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) seize.

In accordance with Carbon Clear, CycloneCC’s compact, modular design makes it fast to put in and straightforward to combine with present operations. CycloneCC’s bodily footprint occupies as much as 50 % much less area than typical carbon seize options and the tools is 10 occasions smaller. Rotating packed mattress (RPB) expertise makes use of centrifugal drive to extend the effectivity of the carbon seize course of, the corporate famous.
Aniruddha Sharma, Carbon Clear Chair and CEO, mentioned, “Petronas has a pioneering method to decarbonization, viewing carbon seize as a lever to remodel its enterprise. It’s turning the low-carbon power transition into a possibility to drive inexperienced development. Carbon Clear is proud to assist Petronas in reaching its internet zero targets by offering an economical method to carbon seize. CycloneCC’s modular design allows firms to stagger their funding, including models in step with their decarbonization targets. We’re making carbon seize logistically viable and straightforward to scale”.
Carbon Clear mentioned it has over a decade of expertise designing, constructing, and working industrial carbon seize programs and describes itself as an innovation chief within the CCUS market, with over 100 energetic patent property throughout 18 patent households overlaying 30 nations.
In associated information, Petronas signed an settlement with Abu Dhabi Nationwide Oil Co. (ADNOC) and Storegga to collaborate on a possible CCS venture with a capability of at the least 5 million metric tons every year in Malaysia.
The Joint Research and Growth Settlement will consider the potential of saline aquifers to retailer carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, with a view to constructing a CCS facility within the Penyu Basin offshore Peninsular Malaysia, based on a current assertion. The scope of the pact additionally consists of “a CO2 transport and logistics research, geophysical and geomechanical modeling, reservoir simulation and containment analysis whereas exploring the applying of superior applied sciences, together with synthetic intelligence, to reinforce storage capability”.
