Rolls-Royce, Landmark and ASCO to collaborate on power generation carbon capture technology

In a move aimed at helping its power generation customers achieve their net zero goals, Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems division has joined forces with combined heat and power specialist Landmark Power Holdings (LMPH), and carbon capture expert ASCO to drive the development of carbon capture technology for gas reciprocating engines

The three organisations have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to pool their collective expertise in the development of a scaleable technology that will enable carbon capture from Rolls Royce’s range of mtu power generator systems.

The plan is to make the captured CO₂ available for use in industries such as food production, Efuels, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), cement and plastic production or alternatively to transport it for permanent storage.

“We are convinced that CO2 capture and storage systems in combination with our mtu gas gensets are an important building block on the way to Net Zero.” said Tobias Ostermaier, President Stationary Power Solutions at Rolls-Royce Power Systems. “As a complement to renewable energy sources, internal combustion engines can already provide clean, cost-effective and extremely reliable power generation.”
