The 10 MW plant near Chennai will use Carbon Clean Solutions Ltd (CCSL) technology to capture more than 60 000 t of CO2 over the life of the project foe use in soda ash production. Post start-up of the project, the plant is set to become a zero-emissions plant.
“This project is a game changer,” said Aniruddha Sharma, CEO of CCSL. “By capturing and crucially, re-using, CO2 at just US$30 per tonne, we believe that there is an opportunity to dramatically accelerate uptake of carbon capture and utilisation technology, with its many benefits, around the world. This is a project that doesn’t rely on government funding or subsidies – it just makes great business sense.”
The announcement comes after the successful completion of a CCSL pilot testing project at Technology Centre Mongstad, the world’s largest facility for testing and improving CO2 capture.
