Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM)

TCM is the world's largest and most flexible test center for the verification of technologies for CO2 capture and a leading competence center in this field. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), carbon capture can contribute about 20 percent of the reduction in CO2 emissions that is necessary to prevent uncontrolled global warming. Testing and verification of technologies for CO2 capture is therefore a very important part of the solution to the climate crisis. TCM is located at Mongstad in Nordhordland, and the center is part of one of the most complex industrial facilities in Norway. TCM promotes carbon capture as a tool for a cleaner and greener future by bridging technology developers, science and industrial application of CO2 capture technologies. Our main task is to test, verify and demonstrate different technologies related to cost-effective and full-scale industrial CO2 capture. We also offer consultancy services for carbon capture projects. The aim is to facilitate the spread of carbon capture technology in various branches and industries. In this way, TCM is an important part of Norway's contribution in the fight against climate change. TCM participates in a broad international collaboration with relevant players on the development and commercialization of new technology, which is important for carbon capture and storage to have an effect against climate change. TCM has a high focus on HSE, and on maintaining a good, developing, and inclusive working environment.
