Accelerate decarbonization—starting with carbon capture

CO₂ is rarely accessible as a standalone molecule to capture and store underground. Instead, it’s usually mixed with other gases produced in industrial processes. So, the ability to capture CO₂ from different effluent gas streams is key. Additional challenges include high energy consumption, complex systems integration, infrastructure footprint, and the handling of contamination in gas streams—all resulting in higher capex and opex.

Leveraging our expertise, SLB is building a broad and highly differentiated carbon capture portfolio that covers a wide range of emissions streams. This includes solutions across a broad variety of industrial emissions and those for typically hard-to-abate and dilute CO₂ streams. Through our technology leadership and unique commercial models, we improve your capture performance while lowering costs.

A market-ready portfolio of solutions

SLB Capturi combines technology portfolios, expertise, and operations platforms to accelerate carbon capture adoption for industrial decarbonization at scale. Through this joint venture, we will apply advanced carbon capture solutions across a broad range of industrial sectors—from cement and steel manufacturing to coal and gas power generation, chemicals, and hydrogen.

Our portfolio of technologies includes amine-based Advanced Carbon Capture™ technologies, Just Catch™ and Big Catch™ modular plant technologies for medium- and large-scale facilities, and Just Catch Offshore™ for offshore gas turbines, as well as a portfolio of innovative technology solutions, including non-aqueous solvent and emerging sorbent-based offerings.

Leading CO₂ capture from natural gas

SLB has been removing CO₂ from natural gas streams since the early 1980s with our Cynara H₂S and CO₂ separation membranes. Cynara membranes have a proprietary membrane design with the most efficient surface area in the market, which is critical for scaling CO₂ separation and capture. This provides higher-efficiency CO₂ separation without chemicals, reducing cost and environmental impact while delivering a track record of 99% uptime. Cynara membranes also reduce embodied carbon by up to 50% compared with alternative methods of acid gas removal and minimize emissions by 30% to 50% when compared with amine sweetening.

The higher hydrocarbon retention from Cynara membranes versus alternative membranes enables CCUS for high-purity CO₂ outlet streams, further reducing emissions intensity.
