Shell Catalysts and Technologies and Technip Energies have signed a global alliance agreement to work exclusively together to deliver a post-combustion amine-based carbon capture solution using Shell’s Cansolv CO₂ capture system.

The alliance combines Shell Catalysts and Technologies technology with Technip Energies’ integration and project delivery experience. The parties have agreed to work exclusively together.

“This agreement marks a significant milestone in a relationship built on shared ambition and delivery,” said Robin Mooldijk, Shell’s president for projects and technology. “Through our strengthened alliance with Technip Energies, we’re helping customers advance their decarbonization plans, backed by deep expertise and more than a decade of working side by side.”

The companies say their model aims to make carbon capture more investable, scalable and accessible for industrial sectors.

“By forming a global alliance with Shell Catalysts and Technologies in the field of carbon capture, we combine cutting-edge technology, smart engineering, and excellence in project execution,” said Arnaud Pieton, Technip’s CEO. “This global alliance is the result of more than 10 years of collaboration and continuous innovation. Our ambition is to deliver a world designed to last by enabling hard-to-abate industries to decarbonize with greater certainty and affordably.”

Two CANSOLV facilities are currently operating, and four Cansolv-based projects have reached final investment decision within the past 24 months. This includes Net Zero Teesside Power, set to be the world’s first gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage.
