Valmet and Saipem have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop joint solutions to decarbonise the industrial sectors that face significant challenges in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions.
The companies will collaborate to offer effective solutions combining Saipem’s technologies for CO2 management with the heat recovery and flue gas treatment units engineered and produced by Valmet.
“Sustainability is at the core of Valmet's business strategy and operations. In our climate programme − forward to a carbon-neutral future − we have set ambitious targets as we believe that technology plays a key role in mitigating climate change and global warming in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy.
“We have already achieved our target of enabling carbon-neutral production for all our pulp and paper customers who have access to fossil-free energy sources. We are also continuously improving the energy efficiency of our current offering. Our collaboration with Saipem fully supports these targets, and we are proud to be part of this initiative,” said Lari-Matti Kuvaja, director, environmental systems, pulp and energy, Valmet.
“Technology is the key to successfully tackle the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors. Together with Valmet, our ambition is to integrate processes and technologies, providing clients with an end-to-end decarbonized solution in line with their net-zero targets.
“This MOU expands Saipem’s portfolio of energy transition innovations, further strengthening our unique ability to cover the entire CO2 capture, re-utilization and storage value chain, through our drilling, onshore and offshore know-how, assets and technologies,” added Fabrizio Botta, chief commercial officer at Saipem.
