Technip Energies has been awarded a Front-End Engineering Design contract by Viridor for the Carbon Capture and Storage project at one of the United Kingdom?s largest Energy-from-Waste facilities in Runcorn, United Kingdom. The project aims to capture around 900,000 tonnes of CO2 each year, half of which will be from biogenic sources, effectively removing 450,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from the atmosphere. As part of the FEED study, Technip Energies will deliver a comprehensive design utilising the Canopy by T.EN?

solution powered by Shell CANSOLV CO2 capture technology. The Canopy offering is part of Capture.Now?, Technip Energies? strategic Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) platform of technologies and solutions.

The Runcorn CCS project is in line to be one of the first facilities to receive funding under the UK Government?s Track 1 funding for carbon capture projects, also making it one of the first carbon capture projects on an Energy-from-Waste facility in the world. It marks a significant milestone in the waste sector's contribution to carbon reduction efforts. The plant will play a crucial role in the regional decarbonisation strategy by providing a stable long-term baseload CO2 supply to the HyNet industrial carbon capture cluster in North West England.
