Shell Cansolv captured CO2 from combusted natural gas for Lanxess CISA (Pty) for use at their chrome chemicals production facility in South Africa, marking the first deployment of the system in the chemicals production sector.
Shell Cansolv’s CO2 capture technology will be used to remove carbon dioxide from the flue gas generated by burning natural gas. The system has been incorporated into a new facility that will combust locally sourced natural gas in conventional boilers to generate steam. The plant in Newcastle is designed to capture 170 metric tons of CO2 per day which will be used as a feedstock for chemical production and will mean that Lanxess can avoid purchasing large volumes of CO2.
