‘80% and climbing’: Solvang hails carbon capture test success

Norwegian gas carrier owner Solvang has revealed increasingly successful results from its carbon capture and storage (CCS) pilot scheme.

A 60% capture rate using scrubber technology was achieved during land-based 1.2 MW tests at tech company Wartsila's facility in Moss, Norway, in mid-February.

But Solvang chief executive Edvin Endresen told Oslo law firm BAHR’s CO₂ shipping seminar that this figure had risen to “80% and climbing” by the end of March.
