en.Wedoany.com Reported - AFRY has secured an engineering contract from Kanadevia Inova to provide detailed engineering design services for the UK's first full-scale carbon capture facility integrated with a waste-to-energy plant.

The project is developed by Encyclis, a major UK waste-to-energy operator, with Kanadevia Inova serving as the engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for the carbon capture unit. Under the contract, AFRY will design the steel structures and piping systems required for integrating the carbon capture unit with the existing energy recovery facility. The scope of work includes mechanical and piping detailed engineering, structural calculations, support systems, and complete technical documentation.

The facility is regarded as a significant project in industrial decarbonization and is part of the HyNet North West initiative in northwest England, which focuses on carbon capture, hydrogen development, and large-scale emission reductions. Once operational, the facility will achieve substantial emission reductions by capturing both fossil and biogenic carbon dioxide generated during the waste-to-energy process.

Guy Skantze, Head of AFRY's Chemical and Biorefining division, stated that carbon capture is a key technology in the transition to net zero, and this project demonstrates how the technology can be implemented at full industrial scale. AFRY's experience in complex industrial integration projects and energy infrastructure enables effective collaboration with clients and partners.

This contract further strengthens AFRY's market position in European carbon capture and industrial decarbonization, a sector that is transitioning from the conceptual stage to large-scale construction and deployment.
