Saipem and Novozymes, the world leader in biological solutions, have signed a collaboration agreement for the development of innovative solutions for enzymatic carbon capture.
As part of the agreement, Saipem, which owns an enzyme-based CO2 capture technology that can also contain costs, will be responsible for providing process, mechanical and equipment design, while Novozymes will provide enzymes while further optimizing the process through enzymes innovation.
Enzymatic carbon capture is more sustainable in environmental terms and more cost-effective compared to traditional CO2 capture processes. In fact, it is based on the use of enzymes that require the input of heat at lower temperatures and a significantly moderate use of chemicals, energy and, consequently, cuts down the production of harmful waste. Furthermore, this process is more reliable, as the carbonates and enzymes, being low corrosion materials, minimize the deterioration of equipment.
