- Technology Centre Mongstad is the world's largest test centre for carbon capture and storage (CCS) located in Norway. - It has gained extensive operational experience from testing two post-combustion carbon capture technologies, amine scrubbing and chilled ammonia, capturing CO2 from flue gases of a gas-fired power plant and refinery. - The centre aims to demonstrate technologies, reduce costs and risks of full-scale CCS projects through testing, and has welcomed over 5,000 visitors to share knowledge on carbon capture.

prove industrial-scale flue gas CO2 capture more efficient and
lower cost than ever before
• CO2 capture rate of 85%-90%
• Results will stand as the baseline for future vendor testing at TCM,
and likely any future CCS projects based on flue gas treatment

treatment are technically feasible with no emissions of any harmful
compounds
