Malaysia's Yinson Production has put into operation the carbon capture and storage (CCS) unit onboard its FPSO Agogo, making it the world's first post-combustion CO2 capture plant installed on an offshore facility. The milestone is the result of a collaboration with Azule Energy (a joint venture between Eni and BP) and Carbon Circle.
The CCS system runs on the open-source CESAR1 solvent, an advanced amine blend developed through years of academic research and global R&D. The system demonstrates low energy regeneration and high reaction rates, showing strong potential for large-scale offshore deployment.
The FPSO Agogo is located at Block 15/06 offshore Angola and has a production capacity of 120,000 barrels of oil per day. It is Angola's first carbon-neutral FPSO and the centerpiece of the Agogo Integrated West Hub project. Azule Energy holds a 36.84% stake, alongside Sonangol P&P (36.84%) and Sinopec International (26.32%).
The FPSO sailed away from Cosco Shipping Heavy Industry's shipyard in Shanghai in February 2025 and reached its destination off Angola in May 2025. Azule Energy said: "We truly believe that collaboration and innovation are key to accelerating the energy transition. This project stands as a powerful example of what our industry can accomplish when we work together to deliver tangible climate solutions offshore."
