Sener is actively contributing to the development of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) projects, a key technology for meeting climate neutrality targets. We have extensive experience in integration of carbon capture technologies in complex environments. We carry out conceptual and basic engineering solutions for the integration of CO₂ capture technologies, including post-combustion and oxyfuel processes, as well as the development of supporting infrastructure for CO₂ conditioning, storage, and transport.
We support our clients throughout the entire carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) value chain, ensuring the efficient integration of every stage of the process.
We design and integrate complete solutions that connect:
• CO₂ capture and conditioning systems, with solutions tailored to each industry
• Transportation and logistics infrastructure, including liquefied CO₂ terminals
• CO₂ utilization pathways, such as synthetic fuels and circular economy applications
Our goal is to ensure that every element operates as part of a single, optimized, and efficient system.
• Independent, technology-agnostic engineering
We select and integrate the most suitable technologies without being tied to specific vendors.
• End-to-end integration capabilities
We connect every stage: CO2 capture, transport and use.
• Experience in CO₂ logistics and complex infrastructure
Backed by our expertise in LNG, cryogenic systems, and port infrastructure.
• Strong capabilities in brownfield integration
We adapt solutions to existing industrial facilities.
• Proven execution capabilities for complex projects (FEED, EPC, EPCM)
With reliable cost estimates and a focus on constructability.
• Interface management across the entire CCUS value chain
Coordinating technologies, stakeholders, and requirements across the complete system.
Energy optimization and waste heat recovery. We improve the efficiency and competitiveness of industrial facilities through the intelligent integration of thermal flows and waste heat recovery.
We follow an integrated approach across the entire CO2 value chain, covering carbon capture, conditioning for transportation, transportation, utilization, and storage. We support your project from concept through operations, providing technical expertise throughout every stage of development—from the initial concept to operations—while ensuring its technical and economic viability.
During the evaluation phase, we begin by assessing the specific characteristics of each facility: the composition of the gas stream for CO₂ recovery, thermal energy availability, available space, and the planned CO₂ transportation logistics, and other factors. During the design phase, we optimize processes to maximize energy efficiency, ensure seamless integration with existing facilities, and minimize environmental impacts.
Throughout the project life cycle, we support our clients from the initial analysis and solution selection phases, through engineering development and permitting, to the final investment decision, commissioning, and plant operations. During the operational phase, we provide monitoring, maintenance, and continuous improvement services to ensure sustained, optimal performance over time.
Stages
• Screening and decarbonization roadmap
• Technology assessment and business case
• Conceptual Engineering / Pre-FEED / FEED
• Permitting and stakeholder management
• EPC / EPCM / Owner’s Engineering
• Commissioning and validation
• Optimization and operational support
We not only help our clients select the most appropriate carbon capture and conditioning technologies through a structured and independent approach, but also serve as the system integrator, ensuring their successful integration into industrial facilities.
We define the implementation strategy and ensure the solution’s operational, energy, and maintenance viability. We take a coordinated approach to CO₂ capture, energy integration (including waste heat recovery), condensate treatment, and water and effluent management, ensuring that all technologies, equipment, and infrastructure operate as a single, fully integrated system.
Our goal is to deliver robust, economically viable solutions that are consistent with the overall project strategy.
Multidisciplinary engineering expertise applied to CCUS. We leverage decades of experience in complex infrastructure projects to deliver integrated CCUS solutions:
• LNG and cryogenic systems
• Port and marine infrastructure
• Gas treatment and compression processes
• Industrial plant integration
• Energy optimization
• Advanced modeling and digital tools
This foundation enables us to address the technical complexity of CCUS projects through a fully integrated approach.
• Cement and lime: energy integration, process emissions capture, and connection to hubs.
• Waste-to-energy: capture of fossil and biogenic CO₂, liquefaction, intermediate storage.
• Ports and logistics hubs: liquid CO₂ terminals, storage, loading and unloading facilities, and ship transport.
• Energy-intensive industries: feasibility studies, pre-FEED, brownfield integration.
• Biomass, pulp, and paper: biogenic and negative emissions potential.
Sener’s expertise in CCUS is reflected in projects such as AEB Aurora in Amsterdam, CO2next in Rotterdam and cement plants, contributing to Europe’s carbon network and net-zero ambitions. We also bring this know-how to the lime and cement industries, where carbon capture plays a decisive role in achieving deep decarbonization.
We provide end-to-end engineering services for CO₂ capture projects in cement plants, biomass facilities, Waste-to-Energy units and combined-cycle power plants.
At Sener, we provide carbon capture projects that span the entire chain: capture systems in industrial facilities, compression and liquefaction technologies, marine and pipeline transport, and final CO₂ storage solutions.
