Delta CleanTech has signed a business development agreement with Nanjing Kisen International Engineering (KISEN) of China to expand its carbon-dioxide (CO2) capture and utilization operations into the expanding Chinese CO2 mitigation market.

Delta’s chairman Lionel Kambeitz says there is a need for robust and proven CO2 capture technology and that KISEN has shown leadership and demonstrated progress in climate-change mitigation in China, particularly as it relates to the cement industry, which has been identified as a high-value target industry for CO2 capture and utilization.    

Jeff Allison, Delta’s president, adds: “Delta’s recent success in CO2 capture project qualification on six significant projects is accelerating our need to further expand operations in China to meet CO2 reduction demands. As such, we have expanded our collaboration with the KISEN Group to add to our existing relationships with the Chenglin and Wison Groups.

“KISEN will provide access to the cement industry, which is second behind coal-fired power generation in overall world CO2 emissions. With the increase in our business volume in China, we need to collaborate with well recognized Chinese state corporations already successful in the cement industry.”
