Aker Carbon Capture said Wednesday that it has been awarded a carbon-capture plant design contract from German energy company Uniper.

The Norwegian carbon-tech company said the contract will see it deliver design studies for a proposed postcombustion carbon-capture plant at Uniper's Grain power station in the southeast of England, with the potential to capture over 2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

If Uniper selects Aker Carbon Capture as technology licensor at the end of the design process, the next step will be to move to the front-end engineering and design phase ahead of a final investment decision, which is expected to be taken by Uniper in the mid-2020s, it said.

Uniper has the option to commission a license to install Aker Carbon Capture's technology on all three combined cycle gas turbine units at the power station, it added.
