Canada: ThyssenKrupp Calvion has signed two memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with TKMS and US-based Heirloom Carbon Technologies to advance large-scale direct air capture (DAC) in Alberta. The collaborations will pair ThyssenKrupp Calvion’s calcination with Heirloom's limestone-based DAC method, alongside CO₂ purification and compression technologies from the wider ThyssenKrupp group. ThyssenKrupp Calvion will also develop a carbon capture calciner based on its Oxyfuel technology.
Heirloom head of commercialisation Max Scholten said "Canada's natural resource base, workforce and technical capacity are a compelling foundation for carbon removal research, development and large-scale deployment. The synergy of our partnership with ThyssenKrupp Calvion lays the foundation for investments that remove carbon, produce low-carbon fuels, create durable jobs, and cement Canada's place in a decarbonising global marketplace."
