ARKANSAS — One of the nation’s biggest paper pulp mills will install carbon capture and storage targeting up to 1.5 million metric tons of biogenic CO2. Svante Technologies will develop the CCS project at the Ashdown Pulp Mill facility in Arkansas. Ashdown, owned by Domtar-Paper Excellence, produces close to 775,000 air dry metric tons of pulp annually, according to the parent company. The project will help deploy Svante’s carbon capture technology for the pulp and paper industry to generate carbon dioxide removal credits and enhance the sustainability of the industry’s operations. The project has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office for negotiation of a cost-sharing agreement of up to almost $1.5 million. …Claude Letourneau, CEO of Svante said, “Svante’s MOF-based carbon capture technology has the potential to revolutionize how industrial facilities manage their emissions.”
