Novozymes and Saipem team to develop enzymatic carbon capture

In Denmark, Novozymes and Saipem have entered a collaboration agreement to develop solutions for enzymatic carbon capture, a biological and cost-effective alternative to traditional carbon capture. The ambition is to bring advanced enzyme-based carbon capture processes to the market.
“This collaboration is an important step towards sustainable and innovative solutions for lowering greenhouse gas emissions. As part of our strategy, Novozymes is committed to delivering biological solutions that enable a healthier planet and our collaboration with Saipem helps us fulfil our ambition to explore new growth opportunities while accelerating the battle against climate change,” says Amy Byrick, Executive Vice President of Strategy & Business Transformation at Novozymes.
Saipem, which is committed to the transition of the energy sector, has developed an enzyme-based carbon capture technology, which the two companies will work together to advance as part of the agreement. Saipem will provide the process and mechanical and equipment design while Novozymes will supply enzymes for Saipem’s customer base and further optimize the process through enzymes innovation.
