London, 07 September, 2023, (Oilandgaspress) – Saipem has announced the official launch of BluenzymeTM, an innovative plug-and-play solution which harnesses the power of enzymes to facilitate a carbon capture process with reduced environmental impact, making it a more sustainable alternative to conventional methods. Saipem’s inaugural industrialised offering, BluenzymeTM 200, has a nominal capture capacity of 200 tonnes of CO2 per day.
The “CO2 Solutions by SAIPEM” technology underlying BluenzymeTM operates by employing a non-toxic, non-volatile solvent, which relies on the carbonic anhydrase enzyme—a highly potent natural catalyst for carbon dioxide capture. This enzyme naturally occurs in the human body and all living organisms, facilitating the exchange of CO2 during respiration.
Drawing upon a comprehensive understanding of this natural enzyme’s mechanisms, Saipem has engineered an industrially high-performing solution for CO2 capture that surpasses traditional processes in both environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness. This is achievable because the technology can effectively harness recoverable heat from low-temperature sources.
Fabrizio Botta, Chief Commercial Officer at Saipem, commented: “We are proud to be able to offer our customers the BluenzymeTM200 solution, an off-the-shelf product based on proprietary technology that is the result of our relentless commitment to research and development of increasingly flexible, efficient and sustainable solutions. BluenzymeTM200 represents a concrete solution to allow companies to reach their ESG goals and move closer to the target of a zero-carbon future that Saipem is striving to achieve.”
