Babcock & Wilcox ("B&W") (NYSE: BW), a leading innovator in clean energy technologies, is ready to provide its SolveBrightTM post-combustion regenerable solvent based solution to help customers reduce carbon dioxide emissions from industrial and utility plants and other facilities.

SolveBrightTM technology is part of B&W’s complete suite of ClimateBrightTM decarbonization technologies and was developed by B&W in conjunction with university researchers. This solvent-based post-combustion capture process can be designed to be flexible with a variety of solvents, or it can be optimized to a specific solvent, depending on customers’ needs.

“B&W is focused on providing leadership and advocacy for decarbonization and providing effective solutions to help our customers reduce greenhouse gases,” said B&W Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Young. “Our SolveBright™ technology is an efficient and economical way to combat CO2 emissions from industrial and utility processes and we’re excited about its potential application in a wide variety of industries.”

“B&W also has developed technologies to generate hydrogen and produce clean energy from hydrogen fuel, as well as technologies that inherently produce concentrated CO2 for utilization or storage. B&W’s diverse ClimateBrightTM suite of technologies has a wide range of applications across many industries, such as carbon black manufacturing, cement, energy production, food manufacturing, oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, and steel,” Young said.

B&W’s ClimateBrightTM solutions include:

• BrightLoopTM technology to produce hydrogen, steam or syngas from a variety of fuels or feedstocks while isolating CO2 for storage or other industrial purposes
• SolveBrightTM regenerable solvent technology for post combustion carbon capture
• OxyBrightTM combustion process using oxygen instead of air, which is applicable for new and retrofit applications
• BrightGenTM hydrogen combustion technology
