CO280 retrofits existing pulp and paper mills with modular carbon capture units to capture and permanently store biogenic CO2.
Nov. 19, 2025 - CO280 Solutions Inc., a developer of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects, and a pulp and paper manufacturer have successfully completed a field pilot to validate the performance of liquid amine technology to capture biogenic CO2 from recovery boiler stack emissions at a pulp mill in the U.S. Gulf Coast.
The liquid amine technology was provided by SLB Capturi, a supplier of carbon capture technology for industrial sectors.
According to CO280 Solutions, SLB Capturi's Mobile Test Unit (MTU) was installed at the mill site in Q3 2024 where it operated for more than 4,000 hours, achieving a consistent capture rate efficiency of 95%. During the test program, the MTU met all key performance indicators including capture rate efficiency, energy consumption, solvent durability, and absorber emissions. The MTU has a rated design capacity of 3 tonnes per day (tpd).
"This critical milestone clears the way for deploying commercial-scale carbon capture and removal projects at pulp and paper mills," said Jonathan Rhone, Co-Founder and CEO of CO280. "The success of the MTU pilot with SLB Capturi marks a critical step towards achieving that goal and delivering low-cost, low-risk CDR to our customers."
CO280 retrofits existing pulp and paper mills with modular carbon capture units to capture and permanently store biogenic CO2, delivering high-quality and affordable CDR at scale to its customers in the carbon market.
Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi, said, "This MTU test campaign on recovery boiler stack emissions has been a huge success. The strong performance and results of the MTU at this mill validates all key process parameters and demonstrates that there are no technical barriers to deploying commercial-scale carbon capture plants."
CO280 is a leading developer of projects that produce high-quality, permanent, and affordable carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
