Carbon Herald just published Linde And Valmet Partner On Electric Carbon Capture For Pulp And Paper.
Carbon Herald reports that industrial gas company Linde and pulp and paper technology supplier Valmet are joining forces to develop electric carbon capture solutions tailored to the pulp and paper sector. The collaboration aims to combine Linde’s experience in CO2 separation and processing with Valmet’s footprint in mill engineering and process integration. The focus on electrically driven capture is intended to align with mills that have access to low-carbon power, potentially reducing reliance on steam-based regeneration. The outlet frames the move as targeting an industry with significant biogenic CO2 streams that are increasingly viewed as candidates for capture and storage or utilization.
Our take (Heads-up): Pulp and paper is a logical early market for capture given concentrated biogenic emissions, and electrified capture pairs well with mills on clean grids. The release is short on specifics: no pilot site, capture volume, capex range, or timeline is disclosed. Worth watching whether this advances to a demonstration project rather than staying at the MOU stage.
