Under the agreement, Carbon Clean and PCCSS will collaboratively assess carbon capture technology, aiming to identify synergies and explore future collaboration opportunities. The focus of this collaboration includes evaluating various methods of carbon capture for potential integration into different areas of Petronas’ operations. This is a strategic collaboration and a deliberate step in addressing climate change, the companies said.

Carbon Clean’s CycloneCC solution will be the primary focus of the MOU. It has the potential to reduce the total installed cost of carbon capture by up to 50% compared to conventional solutions. Both companies will work together to explore and develop how the modular technology can be used for post combustion CO2 capture.

CycloneCC’s compact, modular design makes it quick to install and easy to integrate with existing operations, Carbon Clean said. CycloneCC’s physical footprint occupies up to 50% less space than conventional carbon capture solutions and the equipment is 10 times smaller. Rotating packed bed (RPB) technology uses centrifugal force to increase the efficiency of the carbon capture process.
