Babcock & Wilcox to work with Newpoint Gas in CO2 capture for industrial customers
Babcock & Wilcox announced it has teamed with Texas-based Newpoint Gas to jointly market and supply economical and efficient carbon dioxide (CO2) capture solutions for industrial customers in the food and beverage, cement, steel and petrochemical industries utilising B&W’s patented SolveBright regenerable solvent technology and Newpoint’s modular regeneration skid.
The companies have agreed to work together to identify commercial opportunities, primarily with industrial, manufacturing and processing customers seeking lower-cost options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and their carbon footprint.
“This is a great opportunity to work with Newpoint to bring B&W’s advanced post-combustion carbon capture knowledge to industrial clients,” said Joe Buckler, B&W Senior Vice President, Clean Energy. “Newpoint has dozens of commercial regeneration skid applications, and their expertise complements B&W’s proven boiler flue gas treatment technology.”
“CO2 capture is a critical part of the energy transition, and B&W is playing a pivotal role in helping customers across the power and industrial markets achieve their greenhouse gas and emissions reduction targets,” Buckler added. Newpoint Chief Executive Officer Wiley Rhodes noted the teaming agreement will benefit both companies, as well as customers.
"We are excited to build on our hydrogen production and power generation partnership with B&W to further accelerate progress in the growing industrial boiler CO2 capture market,” Mr Rhodes said.
“B&W’s expertise in boiler flue gas combined with our 20+ years’ experience in designing gas treating and regeneration skids will revolutionise CO2 emissions capture from industrial boilers.” B&W's SolveBright technology – part of its ClimateBright suite of decarbonisation and hydrogen technologies – optimizes the flue gas treatment and absorber design for ideal solvent absorption with minimal degradation. The innovative process builds on B&W’s many decades of expertise and experience in boiler flue gas cleaning, which include a complete suite of air quality control technologies for virtually any industrial emissions, including sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate, hazardous metals and other pollutants.
Newpoint’s solvent regeneration skids have been installed in natural gas processing installations around the world. The modular design has been optimised for skid-mounted installations that reduce project timelines and site construction work.
