NEW PARTNERSHIP WILL PROMOTE CARBON CAPTURE

TECHNOLOGY TO HELP MEET CLIMATE CHALLENGE

DNV GL has signed a collaborative
agreement with TCM, the world’s largest
testing facility for carbon capture,
to deliver advisory and verification
services for CO₂ capture technology.
Technology companies carry out
advance testing of their carbon
capture technologies at TCM and the
integration of technology verification
will expedite the process of getting
new solutions to the market.
TCM and DNV GL will offer services
to both companies using TCM’s facility
and external actors in the carbon
capture technology sphere.
“We have been working with
both CCS and verification of new
technologies for the energy sector
for a long time. Combining these two
capabilities together with TCM is a
natural extension of our expertise, says
Liv Hovem, CEO DNV GL Oil & Gas.
“DNV GL and TCM will together
ensure that the technologies tested
and verified at the TCM facilities will
be ready for full-scale deployment.
While we will ensure the technical
feasibility of these technologies, the TCM IN NORWAY
