Aker Carbon Capture has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Storegga to collaborate on carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects and enable industrial emitters access to full value chain offerings in the UK. The agreement marks another UK milestone for the company, after becoming the carbon capture provider for the Keadby 3 Carbon Capture Power Station last week. Aker Carbon Capture is experiencing strong growth in the UK, where the Government has set ambitious targets for the country to become a world leader in CCS.

To meet rising demand, the pure-play carbon capture company is establishing an office in central London to serve the growing list of clients and partners. The company is currently working on FEED studies for two major gas-to-power plants equipped with carbon capture in the UK: SSE Thermal and Equinor's Keadby 3, and bp's Net Zero Teesside, each with an annual capture capacity of up to 1.5-2 million tonnes CO2.
