Valmet secures first contract in EMEA region for new carbon capture pre-treatment technology; solution combines flue gas scrubber and wet electrostatic precipitator for enhanced emissions reduction

Valmet is proud to introduce its new carbon capture (CC) pre-treatment solution, designed to significantly reduce emissions and enhance the carbon capture process efficiency for power plants and various industrial facilities. This cutting-edge technology underscores Valmet's commitment to advancing sustainable solutions and supporting global initiatives to achieve net-zero emissions.

A new era in carbon capture technology

Valmet's carbon capture pre-treatment solution is a pioneering technology that prepares flue gases for efficient carbon capture. The system includes a condensing Valmet Flue Gas Scrubber (direct contact cooler) and a Valmet Wet Electrostatic Precipitator, ensuring thorough cleaning and conditioning of the gases before they enter the carbon capture process. This innovative approach not only reduces emissions but also enhances the overall reliability and performance of the carbon capture system.

First-of-its-kind deal in EMEA

In a significant milestone, Valmet has secured its first order for this new carbon capture pre-treatment solution from an anonymous customer in the EMEA region. This landmark deal highlights the growing demand for advanced carbon capture technologies and Valmet's leading role in this critical field.

Commitment to a sustainable future

Valmet's Director of Environmental Systems, Lari-Matti Kuvaja, expresses his enthusiasm for the project: "We are excited to support our customer with this transformative technology. This delivery of our carbon capture pre-treatment solution reflects Valmet's dedication to providing advanced, sustainable solutions that enable cleaner energy. With our proven expertise and focus on reliability, we are helping drive progress toward a lower-emissions future."
