Capsol Technologies ASA: SCHWENK orders CapsolGo® carbon capture demonstration campaigns for two cement plants

Oslo, Norway - August 13, 2024


Capsol Technologies has signed a contract for the delivery of two CapsolGo®
carbon capture demonstration campaigns at SCHWENK’s Building Material Group’s
Brocēni cement plant in Latvia and the Akmenės Cementas cement plant in
Lithuania.

The CapsolGo® demonstration campaigns follow a feasibility study done by Capsol
for the Brocēni cement plant earlier this year and will be delivered as
all-inclusive services with a testing and validation program, providing SCHWENK
with valuable data and information on the CapsolEoP® (End-of-Pipe) capture
technology. The demonstration period will be Q4 2024 to Q4 2025.

SCHWENK is part of the CCS Baltic Consortium which was granted the status of
Project of Common Interest (PCI) by the European Commission in May 2024, aiming
to transport captured CO2 from Lithuania and Latvia to permanent storage sites,
potentially in the North Sea.

“CapsolEoP® offers lower energy consumption with higher CO2 concentration than
competitive technologies, and the capture cost for cement owners is reduced
further as it doesn’t require external steam supply. We are looking forward to
demonstrating our technology on SCHWENK’s cement plants. The company is one of
the most innovative building materials producers in Europe and are playing an
active role in progressing carbon capture and storage in the Baltic region”,
says Philipp Staggat, Chief Product Officer of Capsol Technologies.

"Succeeding with carbon capture will be essential for our industry over the next
decade and a commitment to future generations. It presents a significant
technical challenge and is necessary for ensuring the sustainability and
competitiveness of industrial sites like ours." says Reinhold Schneider, CEO
SCHWENK Northern Europe.

"In collaboration with our clients and stakeholders, we are dedicated to
addressing these challenges. The implementation of CapsolEoP® technology at our
Latvian and Lithuanian plants is a testament to our commitment, marking a
significant stride towards the goal of capturing over 1.5 million tons of CO2
annually. This initiative is a cornerstone in our journey towards a more
sustainable and responsible industry." explains Arturas Zaremba, CEO
Akmenės cementas.

About CapsolGo®
• CapsolGo® demonstration projects are designed to provide emitters with carbon
capture data using Capsol’s HPC-based process on their specific plants,
supporting accelerated decision processes towards full-scale carbon capture.
• A standard CapsolGo® demonstration campaign is offered on a rental basis,
typically has a duration of six months, and includes transportation,
installation, operation, and testing services.
• Capsol’s HPC-based process is using potassium carbonate as the CO2 solvent, a
process which is well-documented and used in more than 750 plants globally in
multiple industries. A patented energy re-circulation process offers low capture
cost and the flexibility to monetize heat and electricity.
