Shell and Technip Energies tighten collaboration on CO2 capture technology

French engineering player Technip Energies and catalysts, technical services, and licensed process technologies provider, Shell Catalysts & Technologies, are advancing their decade-long collaboration, moving towards global exclusivity for delivering amine-based post-combustion carbon capture solutions. 

According to Technip Energies, the partnership is centered around Shell’s CANSOLV CO2 Capture System, a leading technology in the sector.

Since the beginning of the alliance in 2012, the companies have combined expertise to meet rising industrial demand for carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions. Now, with the energy transition driving accelerated deployment of decarbonization technologies, the strengthened alliance aims to scale CCS across key industrial sectors.

“Recognizing the unique challenges of producing decarbonized energy, power and products profitably and efficiently, the Technip Energies–Shell Catalysts & Technologies alliance is already providing industry-leading CCS solutions that make a sustainable, positive impact on our clients’ facilities,” said Nick Flinn, General Manager Decarbonization of Shell Catalysts & Technologies. 

“By moving towards exclusivity, we are confident our alliance will drive the success of our clients’ decarbonization at scale, shaping the path to a cleaner future and meeting evolving market needs with advanced carbon-capture technology.”

The alliance integrates Shell’s expertise in technology licensing with Technip Energies’ capabilities in project delivery, creating a framework to offer execution from project initiation to operational support. The companies emphasize innovation, standardization, and continuous improvement to meet the demands of emerging carbon capture markets.

“We firmly believe that CCUS will play a critical role in the energy transition, and our alliance will offer an effective model to address the industry’s needs. By leveraging our combined expertise and unified working approach, we are delivering investable solutions today for global deployment,” said Christophe Malaurie, SVP Decarbonization Solutions of Technip Energies.

“Through continuous improvement, innovation and standardization, we are shaping this new industry, and our Canopy by T.EN solutions, powered by Shell’s CANSOLV CO2 technology, are testament to this ongoing success.”

In June 2023, Technip Energies unveiled Canopy by T.EN, a modular and flexible suite of post-combustion carbon capture solutions powered by Shell’s CANSOLV CO2 Capture System. These solutions are designed to accommodate emitters of varying scales, from pilot projects to large industrial installations across diverse sectors and locations.
