Two Rewarding Days for TCM in Hamburg
“We look back on two inspiring and highly productive days at the Carbon Capture Technology Expo Europe in Hamburg,” says Muhammad Ismail Shah, Managing Director at Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM).
This expo in Hamburg had around 15,000 visitors and 800 exhibitors and is the largest event for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) in the world.
TCM’s stand in the conference area was highly visited. Together with Technical services lead and projects coordinator Koteswara Rao Putta and Communication Manager Liv Lønne Dille, Shah met numerous industry leaders and carbon capture specialists.
Many useful conversations in Hamburg.
Established new and valuable contacts
“We established new and valuable contacts with technology vendors, project owners, and others who may be interested in testing and cooperating with TCM. We are already working to set up meetings with several of them. I hope this will lead to synergies that can accelerate the commercialization of carbon capture technologies,” Shah says.
Koteswara Rao Putta shared that he had fruitful discussions during the event with representatives from several companies interested in collaborating with TCM, either for testing at the facilities or for assistance from TCM Advisory Services to develop their projects.
“I also found it interesting that some were keen to learn more from our open campaigns on the amine plant with MEA and CESAR1 solvents. All of these contacts will be followed up in the coming months.”
Joint Stand with ECCSEL ERIC
At this event, TCM shared a joint stand with ECCSEL ERIC. ECCSEL is the European Research Infrastructure for CO₂ Capture, Utilization, Transport, and Storage (CCUS). Their mission is to advance European research, technology development, innovation, and education in the CCUS field. ECCSEL ERIC is a distributed, integrated research infrastructure that includes interconnected transnational scientific facilities and national hubs.
“ECCSEL ERIC is the largest infrastructure for CCUS in Europe, and we held high-level discussions with them. That they chose to collaborate with TCM at this event was positively noted,” emphasizes Muhammad Ismail Shah.
Based on the positive experience for TCM’s business development at the expo in Hamburg, the management has already made a decision: “We will return to Hamburg next year,” says Liv Lønne Dille.
