Uniper Selects SLB Capturi's Carbon Capture Technology for UK Power Project
Uniper has selected SLB Capturi as the preferred technology licensor for carbon capture at its proposed Connah's Quay Low Carbon Power (CQLCP) project in Deeside, UK. The decision follows a competitive front-end engineering and design process that began in December 2024. The CQLCP will use SLB Capturi’s Big Catch amine-based technology to support flexible gas turbine operations while capturing CO₂ efficiently. The project is expected to feature advanced anti-mist and energy-saving systems, leveraging over a decade of commercial testing by SLB Capturi. If the final investment decision proceeds, it would mark the company's first major deployment in large-scale gas-fired power generation. The captured carbon will be transported via local infrastructure for permanent storage in offshore fields as part of the HyNet industrial cluster. Uniper aims to deliver up to 1.38GW from CQLCP in two phases, with the initial phase potentially powering around 1.1 million homes annually by 2030. The project remains subject to planning approvals and is expected to involve SLB Capturi across technology licensing, equipment supply, and construction support.
