SLB and Aker Carbon Capture Announce Closing of Carbon Capture Joint Venture
Regulatory News:
SLB (NYSE: SLB) and Aker Carbon Capture (ACC) announced today the closing of their previously announced joint venture. The new company combines technology portfolios, expertise and operations platforms to support accelerated carbon capture adoption for industrial decarbonization at scale.
“There is no credible pathway toward net zero without deploying carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) at scale,” said Gavin Rennick, president of SLB’s New Energy business. “In the next few decades, many industries that are crucial to our modern world must rapidly adopt CCS to decarbonize. Through the joint venture, we are excited to accelerate disruptive carbon capture technologies globally.”
The new company will combine ACC’s amine-based Advanced Carbon Capture™ technologies, including Just Catch™ and Big Catch™ modular plant technologies for medium- and large-scale facilities, and Just Catch Offshore™ for offshore gas turbines, with SLB’s portfolio of technology solutions, including non-aqueous solvent and emerging sorbent-based offerings. The company currently has seven technology installations in progress that have the capacity to capture up to 1 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
“There is no business as usual in the push toward net zero—we will accelerate decarbonization today and commercialize innovative technologies for the future,” said Egil Fagerland, newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of the SLB–Aker Carbon Capture joint venture. “We are proud of the carbon capture plants we are delivering across various industries, with each customer being an important front-runner in its segment. Successful project deliveries are paving the way for other emitters to follow,” continued Fagerland.
The new company will be headquartered in Oslo. SLB owns 80% of the new company while ACC ASA owns the remaining 20% stake.

Pure Lithium Announces New York Series B Roadshow6.11.2024 21:10:00 CET | Press Release
Pure Lithium Corporation, a disruptive Boston-based vertically-integrated lithium metal battery technology company, is pleased to announce that it will conduct a roadshow in New York the week of November 18, 2024 to promote its $75M to $100M Q1 2025 Series B fundraise. The funds will support the scale-up of the Company’s technology towards commercial lithium metal battery production and a potential Initial Public Offering of the company. Lithium metal is the "holy grail" of energy storage, a step change beyond today's lithium-ion battery. It does not require graphite, nickel, cobalt and manganese, eliminating dependence on China and enabling local battery hubs in favorable jurisdictions for the first time ever. Since opening its Boston lab in January of 2021, Pure Lithium has made impressive strides towards commercializing the lithium metal battery. This year, the Company raised $20M in its Series A.5 with Oxy Low Carbon Ventures as the lead investor. Major progress has been made on a

Building a World-Class Synthetic Biology Lab: Asymchem’s Self-Developed STAR System Empowers Protein Design6.11.2024 17:00:00 CET | Press Release
Asymchem (stock code: 002821.SZ/6821.HK), a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has created an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to address key challenges in protein design. This platform, known as STAR (Sequence Recommendation via Artificial Intelligence), was successfully developed by Asymchem’s Center of Synthetic Biology Technology (CSBT) and AI team. The team published a paper titled “STAR: A Web Server for Assisting Directed Protein Evolution with Machine Learning” in ACS Omega, detailing the system’s ability to integrate multiple machine learning models and sequence encoding methods. One major challenge in protein engineering is the number of mutations that need to be generated and screened. This can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. STAR dramatically accelerates this process. By leveraging machine learning, the platform quickly identifies critical regions for mutation. This reduces the number of experimental samples to just a few hundr
