TCM Strengthens Global Outreach – Growing Interest in Test Campaigns and Advisory Services

In the past months, Managing Director Ismail Shah, and Business Development Manager Rouzbeh Jafari have met with potential clients across Canada, Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and India, where the message has been clear: industries are seeking reliable, independent partners to help de-risk their CCS investments.

“We are seeing growing demand from emitters who want to test their solutions in a realistic and safe environment before moving into full-scale deployment,” says Rouzbeh Jafari. “At TCM, we can offer exactly that – the world’s most flexible open CO₂ capture test facility, operating with real flue gas and delivering proven results.”

A Platform for Industrial Emitters

TCM offers testing of both proprietary and generic solvents, with tailored programs designed for key industrial sectors such as power generation, cement, steel, aluminum, waste-to-energy, and refining. The objective is to help companies establish a robust technical and economic baseline for future CCS decisions.

“Our clients benefit from independent validation of solvent performance, full ownership of test data, and access to TCM’s validated simulation tools,” Rouzbeh explains. “This gives them a competitive edge when entering FEED and commercial project phases.”

Through cost-sharing models and fast-track preparations, TCM provides an efficient, lower-cost pathway to capture testing. The center currently has available testing windows in 2026 and 2027, and TCM encourages early engagement to secure capacity and explore joint campaign opportunities with other industry players.

IMPURE-CO₂: Unlocking the Next Step in CCS Infrastructure

One initiative drawing significant international attention is IMPURE-CO₂ — a multi-partner project uniting leading R&D institutions, technology providers, and industrial emitters to address one of the most critical challenges in large-scale CCS deployment: managing impurities in the CO₂ stream.

The project delivers scientific evidence for safe operations, validated predictive tools, and CO₂ quality specifications — generating bankable data that reduce risk and accelerate infrastructure development.

“IMPURE-CO₂ gives participants the opportunity to shape tomorrow’s standards and position themselves as technology leaders,” says Rouzbeh. “It’s about building trust – not only in capture technologies, but across the entire value chain from capture to storage.”

Beyond Testing

In addition to its world-class testing facilities, TCM offers advisory services for CCS technology evaluation and selection, as well as the TCM Operational Academy, which provides training for future capture plant operators.

“Our ambition is to be a full-service partner for companies implementing their decarbonization strategies,” Rouzbeh concludes. “At TCM, you don’t just test technology – you validate decisions that can accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future.”

Meet TCM at ADIPEC 2025

As part of its international outreach, TCM will participate in ADIPEC 2025, presenting under the theme “Decarbonizing Downstream through Scalable and Value-Driven Carbon Solutions.”

The presentation will take place on Wednesday, November 5, at 2:00 PM (local time) during the Downstream Technical Conference in Abu Dhabi.

This session will highlight TCM’s experience in enabling cost-effective, scalable CCS solutions for the oil and gas, energy, and industrial sector.
