Mantel and Wood announce MOU to scale high-temperature carbon capture. May 20, 2026 BY Mantel Capture, Inc. Mantel announced Tuesday it signed a memorandum of understanding with Wood to expand deployment of high-temperature carbon capture technology across industrial sectors. Under the agreement, Mantel named Wood its preferred technology provider for fired-equipment integration in future commercial projects. The companies said the partnership builds on years of collaboration integrating carbon capture systems into industrial equipment including boilers, gas turbines and once-through steam generators. Mantel said the agreement supports commercialization of its molten-borate carbon capture technology, which is designed to reduce costs and improve efficiency by capturing carbon dioxide directly from high-temperature industrial processes without cooling and reheating flue gas. The partnership is already advancing Mantel's first commercial project, a steam-assisted gravity drainage facility in Western Canada. Wood is leading front-end engineering and design work for the project, which is expected to capture about 60,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually while producing 150,000 metric tons of high-pressure steam for operations. "Successfully deploying carbon capture in heavy industry requires more than innovative chemistry; it has to work within the realities of how these systems run day in and day out," said Cameron Halliday, Mantel co-founder and CEO. Wood said integrating carbon capture directly into steam generation systems could reduce emissions and improve efficiency in hard-to-abate sectors such as oil and gas, manufacturing and power generation. Mantel and Wood said additional projects are already in development across multiple industries. March 16, 2026 PSB Industries is promoting a catalytic oxidation system designed to remove VOCs from CO[2] off-gas at RNG facilities, enabling operators to purify and recover CO[2] for resale while reducing emissions and lowering operating costs compared to traditional thermal oxidation methods. February 24, 2026 A new study finds that enhanced rock weathering could remove up to 350 million tonnes of CO[2] annually by 2050 by accelerating natural rock reactions that lock away carbon. ERW uses crushed rock applied to soil and offers long-term carbon storage along with potential agricultural benefits. While early carbon credits and rising investment signal growing momentum, challenges remain in verification, logistics and large-scale adoption. February 17, 2026 DeCarbon Copenhagen 2026 will run Feb. 24-26 and unite Europe's biomass, carbon-removal and digital-infrastructure communities. The event will address biomass markets, BECCS, carbon markets, data-center energy challenges and financing mechanisms as Europe advances its decarbonisation agenda. February 09, 2026 Carbon Clean has been named one of Britain's fastest-growing private technology companies after posting 86.35% revenue growth over three years. The ranking reflects rising demand for scalable carbon capture solutions and the company's progress in commercializing its CycloneCC technology. February 09, 2026 Europe's new carbon border tax is squeezing Indian steel exporters, pushing producers to explore cleaner technologies. While coal-heavy production remains a major challenge, government support and private investment - including a $1.2 billion commitment from Tata Steel - could accelerate India's shift toward green steel.
