TNO’s research teams include experts in carbon capture research and development, who have developed this state-of-the-art equipment and provide advice to companies looking to strike a balance between what is technically feasible and economically viable.

The organisation, which has its headquarters in The Hague, built its unique mobile CO₂ Capture Miniplant at its Delft research facility several years ago to conduct onsite testing of post-combustion carbon capture from different types of industrial flue gases.

Following 10,000 hours of capture operations and numerous test campaigns, the Miniplant has been so successful that a second unit has now been built.
