The proposed solution combines MHI’s proprietary

CO2 capture technology with SBM Offshore’s Fast4Ward electric actuation technology as part of their shared effort to advance electrifcation of subsea feld systems in off- design principles, resulting in a compact modular confgu- ration intended to reduce emissions associated with oil and shore developments.

The technology, set to be integrated into a subsea tree gas production on FPSOs. The development forms part of scheduled for installation in 2026, will join TechnipFMC’s
