The proprietary solvent to be tested is the KS-21^TM, an amine-based adsorbent used in the “Advanced KM CDR Process^TM” newly developed by MHIENG in collaboration with Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. (KEPCO). Its long-term usage will be demonstrated in Norway, one of the world’s most advanced countries with respect to environmental regulations on CO₂ capture, in a quest to achieve commercialization within 2021. Compared to the earlier KS-1^TM solvent, which has been adopted at 13 commercial plants delivered by MHIENG, KS-21^TM has a number of advantageous properties such as lower volatility and greater stability against degradation. The newer solvent is also expected to enable reduced running costs and other economic benefits.
