Mantel and Wood Carbon Pact

Mantel Capture, Inc. and Wood have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to advance the deployment of high-temperature carbon capture technology across industrial facilities, in a move aimed at accelerating decarbonisation in hard-to-abate sectors.

The agreement designates Wood as Mantel’s preferred technology provider for fired equipment integration across its commercial projects. It builds on several years of joint technical collaboration focused on integrating carbon capture directly into industrial heat and power systems, including boilers, gas turbines and once-through steam generators.

The partnership is closely linked to Mantel’s first commercial deployment, a steam-assisted gravity drainage facility in Western Canada, where Wood is leading front-end engineering design and serving as overall systems integrator. The project is expected to capture around 60,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually while supporting large-scale steam production for ongoing operations.

Executives from both companies said the approach reflects a shift towards capturing emissions at source rather than relying on downstream retrofits. They added that embedding capture systems within high-temperature industrial processes could reduce operational complexity and improve overall efficiency in sectors such as oil and gas, power generation and manufacturing.

Mantel’s technology captures carbon dioxide directly from high-temperature processes without requiring the cooling and reheating of flue gases, a step that typically drives up costs in conventional systems. Both organisations said the collaboration is intended to demonstrate how integrated engineering and capture solutions can support scalable industrial decarbonisation.
