Milan/Italy – Maire, through its subsidiaries Nextchem (Sustainable Technology Solutions) and KT (Integrated E&C Solutions), acted as technology integrator and completed the full Engineering, Procurement and Construction works for a carbon plant at the Eni natural gas treatment plant of Casalborsetti, near Ravenna, Italy.

The facility, which has just started up its operations, is designed to separate, purify and compress a CO2 emissions volume estimated at approximately 25,000 tons per year. The project is delivering a reduction of over 90 % of CO₂ emissions, which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. Operating at carbon concentration lower than 3 % and at atmospheric pressure, making the facility the world’s first industrial-scale project with such high levels of carbon capture efficiency.

This project is the first carbon capture plant in Italy and, by supporting the phase 1 of Ravenna CCS, it represents a milestone to consolidate the complete CCS value chain, from capture to sequestration, which is a decarbonization solution of growing importance playing a critical role in environmental sustainability.
