GE, Svante Collaborate on Carbon-Capture Technology

Published on: 

The two companies are developing solid sorbent-based solutions for emissions reduction.

GE Gas Power, a division of GE Vernova, and Vancouver-based Svante have announced a joint development agreement to develop and assess solid sorbent-based carbon capture technology for natural gas power generation applications.

Svante provides solid sorbent-based carbon-capture and removal solutions. The company’s carbon-capture filters utilize solid adsorbents, such as metal-organic frameworks, coated onto thin sheets of laminate that are stacked together. This technology can be employed for point-source post-combustion carbon capture, where filters remove CO2 from industrial flue gas.
