ABB Carbon Sequestration and Offsets

  • ABB built the world’s first commercial CO2 capture facility at its Shady Point, Oklahoma coal-fired power plant. It captures 200 tons of CO2 a day from the plant’s flue gas, which is purified, liquefied, and sold to the food products industry.

  • In conjunction with Pacific International Center for High Technology Research and the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority, and other research facilities in Japan, the United States and Norway, ABB is studying the possibility of storing CO2 in the ocean floor.
