Verdox Captures Carbon Dioxide From Aluminum Smelter Exhaust in Norway
In short
- Verdox's electrochemical process ran for two months at Hydro's Sunndal aluminum smelter in Norway.
- The exhaust held only about 1% CO₂ and included contaminants found in real smelter gas.
- Hydro has continued its investment and work with Verdox after the demonstration.

The test ran for two months on exhaust with only about 1% carbon dioxide, which is far more dilute than many capture sources. The process worked despite the contaminants found in real smelter gas. The source stresses that commercial scale is a much bigger system, so this is a demonstration, not a deployed plant.

Verdox has completed a useful industrial demonstration at Hydro’s Sunndal aluminum smelter in Norway. During a two-month test, its electrochemical process captured carbon dioxide from exhaust containing only about 1% CO₂ and operated in the presence of contaminants found in real smelter gas.
