"As the provider of one of the few proven and ready-to-deploy CCS technologies
globally, our mature pipeline has grown by almost 60% over the past 12 months to
15 million tons of CO2. Our CapsolEoP® solution can operate with up to 50% lower
energy use than traditional post-combustion technologies such as amines. This,
together with reduced complexity, has the potential of reducing levelized

CCS, enabled by growing incentives, voluntary carbon markets and the low energy
use of Capsol's technology," said Wendy Lam, CEO of Capsol Technologies.
