A long-term carbon capture contract has been signed between British power company, Drax Group, and Japanese engineering giant, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI).
The contract will allow Drax, already the largest decarbonisation project in Europe, to use Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering, Ltd’s (a subsidiary of MHI) patented carbon capture technology, the Advanced KM CDR Process.
The technology involves using an amine-based adsorbent, KS-21, to help capture carbon. Already adopted at 13 commercial plants, the solvent is expected to enable reduced running costs and provide other economic benefits.
The Yorkshire-based Drax has become a pioneer in decarbonisation, achieving an emission reduction of more than 85% and becoming the largest project of its kind in Europe.
