Aker Carbon Capture ASA was established as a separate entity in 2020, building on more than 20 years long experience and maturation of the carbon capture technology within Aker. A Joint Venture between SLB and Aker Carbon Capture, SLB Capturi, was established in June 2024 with SLB owning 80% and Aker Carbon Capture ASA indirectly owning 20% through its subsidiary, Aker Carbon Capture AS.
On 14 May 2025, Aker ASA, through a subsidiary of Aker Capital AS, acquired the remaining 20% ownership interest in SLB Capturi AS held by Aker Carbon Capture ASA’s subsidiary Aker Carbon Capture AS. The agreement forms part of an overall solution for Aker Carbon Capture ASA and follows a strategic review process, concluding that this transaction represents the most attractive alternative for the Company and its shareholders. Payment of the purchase price will be made to coincide with the distribution of dividends proposed by the Board of Directors. Subject to the EGM’s approval, the dividend payment is expected to be made on or about 20 June 2025.
After the sale of the ownership interest in SLB Capturi AS and the dividend payment, the Board of Directors will propose to ACC’s shareholders that the company be liquidated, with any remaining cash distributed to shareholders as liquidation dividends. An extraordinary general meeting to consider these matters is expected to be called for within 2025.
