Advancing CO₂ Capture: Innovations from TCM

At the 17th Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies (GHGT-17) conference in October 2024, Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM) and partners showcased several significant studies under the theme Operational Experience and Results, emphasizing real-world advancements in CO_₂ capture technologies.

“Operational testing at TCM plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between laboratory research and commercial implementation. By thoroughly evaluating new capture technologies under real industrial conditions, we generate reliable data that the global CCS community can trust,” says Matthew Campbell, Technical Manager at TCM. He emphasizes that TCM only shares data from the open test campaigns at the facility.

“Our goal is not only to support the further development of the technologies we test, but also to make these advancements accessible—because large-scale decarbonization depends on shared knowledge and proven performance. That’s why we invest in making our results available through conferences like GHGT-17.”

The following three studies presented at GHGT-17 highlight TCM’s efforts to accelerate CO₂ capture innovation through large-scale testing, industry collaboration, and open knowledge sharing:

Pilot-Scale Testing of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for Post-Combustion CO₂ Capture at TCM

This study examined the use of large-scale synthesized aluminum-based MOFs for CO₂ capture from TCM’s flue gases. Integrated into a 3-column Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption (VPSA) pilot plant, the MOFs demonstrated promising CO₂ recovery and purity levels. The results highlight the potential of MOFs to enhance capture efficiency.
