Technip Energies has been awarded a FEED contract by Viridor for a CCS project at one of the UK’s largest Waste-to-Energy facilities in Runcorn, UK. The project aims to capture around 900 ktCO₂/y, around half of which will be from biogenic sources.

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 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 Waste-to-Energy facility in the world.

James Eyton, Head of CCUS at Viridor, commented: “with deliverability of the project a crucial goal, the global well-proven Shell CANSOLV CO₂ capture technology has the potential to deliver over 95% CO₂ capture rates, which are needed to remove over 900,000 tons of CO₂ annually at our Runcorn site.”
