Aker Solutions Joins Forces with Microsoft to Fast-Track Global CCS and CDR Projects

Norway-based energy services provider Aker Solutions has partnered with Microsoft to accelerate carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects globally.

The collaboration aims to reduce execution risks and help developers move projects toward final investment decisions (FIDs).

Aker Solutions will engage with developers, emitters, transport and storage providers, industry stakeholders, and governments to support project development, reduce execution risk, and strengthen investment readiness.

Microsoft's expertise in digital technologies, data, artificial intelligence (AI), monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) will be combined with Aker Solutions' techno-economic advisory services and end-to-end engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) capabilities.
