Cory has announced a strategic partnership with Shell Catalysts & Technologies and Technip Energies to advance its planned carbon capture and storage project. The partnership is a critical component of Cory’s goal to achieve net zero by 2030, focusing on capturing carbon dioxide from the non-recyclable waste processed at its Riverside 1 and Riverside 2 energy-from-waste plants in Southeast London. The project aims to capture approximately 1.4 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2030 using Shell’s advanced CANSOLV* CO2 Capture System.

Cory’s CCS plans are well advanced, and the company has already joined forces with the Viking consortium, led by Harbour Energy, Associated British Ports, and bp, to develop a CO2 shipping solution. This initiative will transport captured CO2 by ship to ABP’s Port of Immingham, where it will then be permanently stored under the North Sea. This project has the potential to be the first in the UK to ship CO2 rather than transporting it via a pipeline, paving the way for international opportunities and creating new decarbonisation routes for other coastal and river-based CO2 emitters in the UK.

Shell Catalysts & Technologies and Technip Energies were chosen as project partners due to their extensive expertise and successful track records in CCS. Technip Energies is a global leader in engineering and technology for the energy transition, known for its expertise in project delivery and technology integration. The company has a longstanding alliance with Shell Catalysts & Technologies, whose CANSOLV technology provides several benefits, including low operating costs, high capture rates, and adaptability to various gas flow rates and CO2 concentrations. The technology has been successfully implemented in projects such as:

SaskPower Boundary Dam, Saskatchewan, Canada: Over 5 million tonnes of CO2 captured since 2014.
Brother/LANXESS, South Africa: Capturing 170 tonnes per day of high-purity CO2 since 2013.

Chris Girdham, development director at Cory, stated, “We have ambitious plans to deliver an end-to-end solution for capturing, transporting, and storing CO2, and having the right partners for this project is vital. By working with Shell and Technip, we are bringing on board industry leaders with proven expertise in carbon capture, who will help us to make a material and positive impact on achieving our clients’, London’s, and the UK’s net zero targets.”

Nick Flinn, VP decarbonisation technologies at Shell Catalysts & Technologies, added, “Our CANSOLV technology offers cutting-edge performance to industrial emitters who are looking to cut their carbon footprint. We are delighted to be working with Cory on this industry-leading project, and to help them decarbonise the waste they process for communities and businesses in the South East of the UK.”

Christophe Malaurie, SVP decarbonisation solutions at Technip Energies, commented, “We are delighted to contribute to Cory’s net-zero ambition by capturing the carbon dioxide from the non-recyclable waste it processes. We will leverage our leadership in carbon capture projects and our strategic alliance with Shell Catalysts & Technologies on the CANSOLV carbon capture technology.”

This partnership underscores Cory’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, bringing together industry leaders to help decarbonise the waste sector and support the UK’s ambitious climate goals.
