KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 (Bernama) -- Honeywell and PETRONAS have entered into a collaboration to deliver a scalable, energy-efficient, and commercially viable carbon capture solution tailored for industrial needs.
The collaboration combines PETRONAS’ Membrane Contactor (MBC) technology with Honeywell UOP’s Advanced Solvent Carbon Capture (ASCC) process to deliver a solvent-based, post-combustion CO₂ capture solution. This integrated approach offers greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness, making it well-suited for industrial applications while helping reduce operational costs and enhance reliability in carbon capture efforts.
The collaboration was formalised through a Strategic Collaboration Agreement signed on the sidelines of Energy Asia 2025 in June.
Honeywell UOP APAC General Manager Tsui Tsui Young noted, “We look forward to working with PETRONAS to bring this next-generation carbon capture solution to the market. Honeywell’s proprietary amine-based solvent technology, part of the ASCC process, and PETRONAS’ MBC absorber technology complement each other to create an integrated solution that drives efficiency, cost reduction, and broader adoption of carbon capture technology.”
PETRONAS Vice President of Group Technology and Commercialisation, Izwan Ismail, said, “This collaboration once again demonstrates the new possibilities that emerge when corporations unite within innovation ecosystems, especially in pursuing our journey towards Net Zero. By co-creating better solutions that accelerate industrial decarbonisation, we unlock meaningful value for stakeholders and pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient industrial future.”
Honeywell UOP’s ASCC technology is engineered to withstand high temperatures and pressures, enabling over 95% CO₂ capture from post-combustion flue gas applications. PETRONAS’ MBC technology is an innovative hybrid process that combines conventional membrane separation with chemical absorption into a single, compact system designed for hard-to-abate sectors.
The collaboration reinforces ongoing efforts to advance carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies in Malaysia and contributes to global initiatives aimed at reducing industrial carbon emissions. The next phase of collaboration will explore deploying a pilot-scale project in Malaysia to assess the integrated system’s performance, efficiency, and potential for broader application.
