I have first-hand experience in building one of the largest commercial scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities in Canada using first generation liquid amine technology. The CCS industry is exponentially growing, and I couldn’t be more confident in my decision to join Svante in leading this space with a more efficient second-generation solid sorbent technology.”
