New SLB Capturi–JGC Alliance Targets Carbon Capture Growth in Asia and the Middle East

Takeaways

• SLB Capturi and JGC Holdings have signed an MoU to jointly advance post-combustion carbon capture technologies in Asia and the Middle East.
• The partnership will leverage SLB Capturi’s CCS technology and JGC’s engineering expertise to deliver end-to-end carbon capture and storage solutions.
• The collaboration aims to help heavy industries across both regions achieve their decarbonization goals efficiently and at scale.

SLB Capturi has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with JGC Holdings Corporation, Japan’s leading engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company, to strengthen collaboration in post-combustion carbon capture technologies.

The partnership aims to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, two regions expected to see significant industrial decarbonization efforts over the coming decade.

Under the agreement, SLB Capturi and JGC will combine their expertise to provide integrated CCS solutions, covering the full project lifecycle, from early design and feasibility studies to project execution and implementation. The initiative will focus on delivering scalable and cost-effective carbon capture systems to help industries reduce CO2 emissions and meet their sustainability targets.

Building on Complementary Strengths

JGC brings decades of project delivery experience and a proven record in carbon capture, having completed CO2 recovery and storage facilities for natural gas projects in Algeria and Australia. As part of its “Beyond Smart Project 2025 (BSP2025)” strategy, the company has positioned CCS as a central pillar of its growth, emphasizing post-combustion CO2 recovery from industrial flue gases.

Beyond its engineering capabilities, JGC plans to expand its technical consulting services to offer clients a comprehensive suite of CCS project support, including simulation, risk assessment, and environmental impact analysis. This approach aims to position JGC as not only a project executor but also a strategic partner in industrial decarbonization planning.

SLB Capturi, meanwhile, is already recognized as a global leader in carbon capture technology, supporting several landmark CCS projects across Europe. Its technology powers notable ventures such as Brevik CCS in Norway, the world’s first full-scale carbon capture project for a cement plant, as well as the Twence CCU in the Netherlands, Ørsted Kalundborg CO2 Hub in Denmark, and Hafslund Celsio’s Oslo CCS initiative.

Expanding CCS Horizons

Through this collaboration, SLB Capturi and JGC aim to replicate these successes in Asia and the Middle East, helping heavy industries transition toward low-carbon operations. The alliance also reflects a growing momentum in both regions to develop robust CCS ecosystems, viewed as essential to achieving net-zero emissions targets.
