US-based McDermott has partnered with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia's national science organisation, to evaluate technical and commercial opportunities for the deployment of the latter's carbon capture technologies for energy and heavy industry applications.
CSIRO is working on carbon capture technology for Direct Air Capture and post-combustion processes are being developed in collaboration with Australian gas producer Santos.
"Carbon capture is fundamental to achieving a net-zero future while maintaining affordable, accessible energy and decarbonising resources," McDermott COO Samik Mukherjee said. "We welcome the opportunity to work with CSIRO to advance scalable, flexible carbon capture solutions.”
“CSIRO has substantial experience in the development of low-emission technologies such as carbon dioxide capture," said Amir Aryana, CSIRO group Leader. "By collaborating with the industry, we demonstrate the strength of applying key technologies at scale, while ensuring the lowest possible cost and highest performance."
