ION Engineering to scale up testing of CCS technology
ION Engineering will carry out tests of its liquid absorbent carbon capture technology at the world's largest such facility at Statoil's Mongstad refinery in Norway. The project, a collaboration between between TCM, ION, and the US National Energy Technology Laboratory, will use industrial flue gases to simulate coal-fired conditions.

The collaborative project between TCM, ION, and NETL, will demonstrate ION's liquid absorbent system at TCM's existing 12 MWe test facility that utilizes industrial flue gases to simulate coal-fired conditions. Starting in October this year, this test program aims to further validate ION's leading capture technology and its readiness for commercial scale deployment.

Alfred "Buz" Brown, ION's CEO said, "Technology Center Mongstad is an ideal environment that allows us to validate our process at a large industrial test facility. The opportunity to test at TCM represents the final step in our ability to deploy our technology at commercial scale."
