MOF Technologies rebrands to Nuada26 April 2023, Published under Cement NewsMOF Technologies, a UK-based company whose technology efficiently captures CO 2 directly from industrial sources, is rebranding to Nuada. Nuada’s next-generation ‘heatless’ technology is redefining carbon (CO 2 ) capture, slashing the energy penalty and costs associated with CO 2 capture. The new name is an ode to the company’s Celtic origins and is inspired by the ancient mythical king, Nuada, whose name means ‘to capture’. With this rebrand, Nuada has positioned itself... |
Viking CCS project targets UK cement emissions20 April 2023, Published under Cement NewsHarbour Energy and BP have entered into an agreement to develop the Viking carbon capture transportation and storage project near the heavily industrialised Humber region in the UK. According to BP, the Viking CCS project has the potential to meet one third of the UK government’s target to capture and store up to 30Mta of CO 2 by 2030 from the local steelmaking, refining, chemicals and cement industries. The two companies already share an interest in the Lincolnshire Offshore Gas Gatheri... |
