Svante develops carbon capture project in Arkansas

Svante Technologies Inc. announced the development of a carbon capture and storage project at the Ashdown Pulp Mill in Arkansas. This project aims to implement advanced carbon capture technology in the pulp and paper sector.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) selected the project for potential negotiation of a cost-sharing agreement worth up to $1,499,889. Funding will support a Preliminary Front End Engineering Design (Pre-FEED) study at the mill.

This study will explore post-combustion carbon capture from the recovery boilers’ flue gas. Svante’s rotary solid sorbent system utilizes Metal-Organic Framework (MOF)-based technology in its process.

Svante claims its approach can significantly reduce carbon capture costs by utilizing low-grade waste heat. The modular design of Svante’s capture plants aims to lower capital costs and integrate easily into existing operations.

The materials used in Svante’s technology are designed to avoid harmful emissions and minimize waste. The project targets the removal of up to 1.5 million tonnes of biogenic CO2.

It aims to generate carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits, creating new revenue streams for the pulp and paper industry. CEO Claude Letourneau noted the potential of this project to enhance sustainability in the sector.

Letourneau expressed confidence that the project could lead to broader adoption of carbon capture technology across industrial facilities. Svante’s innovations may transform how the pulp and paper industry manages its emissions.
