Carbon Clean, a carbon capture solutions provider, announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PETRONAS CCS Solutions Sdn Bhd (PCCSS), a subsidiary of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS).
The MoU’s purpose is for PCCSS to partner with Carbon Clean and evaluate its carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Carbon Clean and PCCSS will evaluate carbon capture technologies together to uncover synergies and explore opportunities for future collaboration.
This partnership will focus on assessing different carbon capture techniques for potential application across various PETRONAS operations. This initiative represents a strategic move to tackle climate change effectively.

Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean, said: “PETRONAS has a pioneering approach to decarbonisation, viewing carbon capture as a lever to transform its business. It is turning the low-carbon energy transition into an opportunity to drive green growth.”
She added, “Carbon Clean is proud to support PETRONAS in achieving its net zero targets by providing a cost-effective approach to carbon capture. CycloneCC’s modular design enables companies to stagger their investment, adding units in line with their decarbonisation goals. We are making carbon capture logistically viable and easy to scale.”

The primary focus of the MoU will be Carbon Clean’s CycloneCC solution. As per the announcement, this solution has the potential to reduce the total cost associated with carbon capture by up to 50%.
The two companies will collaborate to explore and develop how the technology can be utilized for post-combustion CO2 capture.
CycloneCC’s compact, modular design allows swift installation and seamless integration with current systems.
Its footprint is up to 50% smaller than traditional carbon capture solutions, and the equipment is ten times more compact.
Utilising rotating packed bed (RPB) technology, CycloneCC leverages centrifugal force to enhance the efficiency of the carbon capture process.
