Ecospray, the Italian decarbonisation solutions supplier, has announced that it will participate as a technical supplier in a groundbreaking pilot project to capture carbon dioxide (CO₂) from seawater in Norway.

The company will provide CO₂ liquefaction technologies to Captura, a US-based company spun off from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), which is focused on carbon removal via the oceans. Captura has partnered with Equinor to build a 1,000-ton/year CO₂ capture pilot system at Equinor’s processing facility in Kårstø, on the west coast of Norway.

Ecospray is scheduled to deliver the pilot’s CO₂ liquefaction system in the third quarter of 2024.
