据油气新闻网7月16日报道，总部位于挪威的纯碳捕获公司阿克碳捕获公司(Aker Carbon Capture)表示，其已与沙特石油巨头阿美石油公司(Saudi Aramco)携手合作，探索在沙特阿拉伯部署碳捕获、利用和封存(CCUS)和工业模块化的合作机会。

该公司在一份声明中表示，该谅解备忘录预计将通过提供模块化碳捕获厂和售后服务，专注于通过CCUS减少和消除工业和能源解决方案中的碳排放。

双方还旨在评估发展当地供应链和模块制造的潜力。

阿克碳捕获公司首席执行官Egil Fagerland在与沙特阿美公司(技术服务)执行副总裁Ahmad Al Sa 'adi在签署为期两年的协议后表示，“我们很高兴与沙特阿美公司宣布这一机会，旨在支持沙特阿拉伯的2030年愿景和沙特王国的2060年净零目标”。

阿克碳捕获公司的Just Catch模块化概念是一种标准化产品，可实现CCU的预制。

目前，该公司正在荷兰交付一个Just Catch装置，预计将于年底完成。

Fagerland称，“我们希望共同探索建立当地模块化CCUS产业，创造新的就业机会，并帮助沙特阿拉伯实现净零排放的重要旅程。这份谅解备忘录可能是阿克碳捕获公司进入中东的第一步。通过中东绿色倡议，该地区的目标是每年减少6.7亿吨二氧化碳排放量；阿克碳捕获公司支持这一重大项目，因为这一项目约占全球国家自主碳减排总量的10%。”

Al Sa 'adi表示，“与阿克碳捕获公司的合作将有助于支持沙特阿美在碳捕获领域开发和部署尖端技术的努力”。

这位高级官员指出，“我们还将与合作伙伴一起探索先进技术，以提高运输效率，最大限度地减少排放，推进低碳氢燃料和可再生能源发展，以实现我们的目标”。

他补充道，阿克碳捕获公司和沙特阿美石油公司还计划在沙特探索跨行业开发模块化解决方案的可能性。

Norway group Aker seals carbon capture deal with Aramco

Aker Carbon Capture, a pure-play carbon capture company headquartered in Norway, said it has joined hands with Saudi oil giant Aramco to explore partnership opportunities to deploy carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and industrial modularisation in Saudi Arabia.

The MoU is expected to focus on carbon emissions reduction and removal through CCUS from industries and energy solutions by offering modular carbon capture plants and aftermarket services, said the company in a statement.

The parties also aim to assess the potential for developing local supply chains and module fabrication. 

"We are pleased to announce this opportunity with Aramco that aims to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the Kingdom’s Net Zero 2060 ambition," said Aker Carbon Capture CEO Egil Fagerland after signing the two-year deal with Aramco Executive Vice President (Technical Services) Ahmad Al Sa’adi.

Aker’s Just Catch modular concept is a standardized product offering that enables prefabrication of CCUs.

It is currently delivering a Just Catch unit in the Netherlands, which is expected to be completed by the year end.

"Together, we aspire to explore the establishment of a local modular CCUS industry, creating new jobs and helping Saudi Arabia’s important journey towards net-zero emissions. This MoU is a potential first step for Aker Carbon Capture into the Middle East," remarked Fagerland. 

Through the Middle East Green Initiative, the region aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 670 million tonnes per year, he stated. 

"It is important for Aker Carbon Capture to support this major undertaking, which represents around 10 per cent of global nationally determined contributions," he added.

Al Sa’adi said the partnership with Aker Carbon Capture would help support Aramco's efforts in developing and deploying cutting edge technologies in the area of carbon capture.

"We are also exploring advanced technologies with our partners to improve efficiency and minimize emissions in transportation, low-carbon hydrogen fuels and renewables to achieve our ambition,” noted the top official.

Aker Carbon Capture and Aramco also aim to explore the possibility of developing modular solutions across industries in Saudi Arabia, he added.
