FORNEBU, Norway, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Aker Carbon Capture ASA (“ACC ASA”) closed the third quarter 2024 with NOK 4.5 billion in cash and a solid equity position at NOK 5.5 billion.

“Through our 20% ownership stake in the joint venture with SLB, which holds the remaining 80%, we will continue to scale and commercialize the carbon capture business. We are advancing carbon capture as a viable path to net zero for the customers and society at large,” said Valborg Lundegaard, CEO of Aker Carbon Capture ASA.

The Board of Directors of ACC ASA continues the process of determining the future strategy and structure of the company, including the framework and conclusions for the use of the proceeds from the transaction with SLB. As part of this process, the Board is also assessing the role and responsibilities of ACC ASA as seller in the recent transaction with SLB and as a 20% owner in SLB Capturi, including ACC ASA’s remaining pro-rata guarantee exposure for ongoing projects. The board will also consider future needs in ACC ASA for its operations, investment opportunities, and in relation to SLB Capturi.

The conclusion of the Board of Directors’ assessment will be communicated at the latest within the first quarter of 2025.

SLB Capturi

In the third quarter, the joint venture with SLB unveiled its new company name; SLB Capturi. The name reflects the company’s commitment to scaling up existing carbon capture technologies as well as to investing in research and development to ensure a pipeline of cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of a variety of industries worldwide.

In August, SLB Capturi announced its first US-based project with a contract award from its partner CO280 Solutions, for front end engineering and design (FEED) of a large-scale carbon capture plant at a pulp and paper facility on the US Gulf coast. SLB Capturi’s mobile test unit has already been deployed at the site. The project aims to remove 800,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.

In September, global chemical and biotech company WACKER announced that it had successfully demonstrated with SLB Capturi’s mobile test unit that it is possible to capture CO2 generated from the production of metallurgical-grade silicon-an essential raw material for microchips, solar modules, and silicones-at its production site in Holla, Norway.

SLB Capturi is currently delivering across multiple sites and is engaged in some of Europe’s most significant carbon capture projects including:

– Brevik, Norway, where 400,000 tonnes of CO2 will be captured each year from a cement plant, and transported by ship to permanent storage, as part of the Longship project.

– Kalundborg, Denmark, where five Just Catch systems are being deployed by Ørsted across two biomass-to-energy sites with design capacity of capturing 500,000 tonnes of CO2 each year, as part of Denmark’s first full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain implementation.

– Hengelo, Netherlands, where 100,000 tonnes of CO2 will be captured per year at Twence’s waste-to-energy plant. The captured CO2 is then delivered in liquid form to the local greenhouse horticulture sector.

Financial results

ACC ASA reported net loss of NOK 47 million in the quarter. The company ended the third quarter 2024 with NOK 4.5 billion in cash and a solid equity position at NOK 5.5 billion.

A summary of Q3 2024 financials is attached.

TAIPEI, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), expands its KBox F-Series with the KBox F-203-RPS and KBox F-204-RPS, two compact industrial computers designed to address diverse requirements in intelligent Industry 4.0, edge computing and industrial IoT applications.

Both systems are powered by 12th, 13th or 14th Gen Intel® Core™ i9/i7/i5/i3 S-Series socket-type processors with a TDP of up to 65 W and support up to 96 GB DDR5 memory, providing a scalable computing foundation for demanding industrial applications requiring flexible performance configuration and long-term deployment.

The KBox F-203-RPS offers two LAN configurations with either two or four GbE ports, allowing customers to select the connectivity level that best fits their applications. The dual-LAN configuration provides an efficient solution for general industrial computing, equipment control and edge applications, while the four-LAN configuration offers additional network connectivity for applications involving multiple devices or network segments, such as machine vision, industrial automation and IoT gateways.

For applications requiring greater system expandability, the KBox F-204-RPS provides one PCIe x16 or two PCIe x8 expansion slots, offering the flexibility to integrate graphics, networking, AI acceleration or other add-on cards according to specific application requirements. With support for up to four 2.5-inch SATA HDDs/SSDs, it also provides extensive storage scalability for data-intensive workloads. These capabilities make the KBox F-204-RPS particularly suitable for industrial edge computing, machine vision, video processing and applications requiring additional functionality or large local data storage.

Together, the KBox F-203-RPS and KBox F-204-RPS enable customers to select the configuration that best matches their requirements, from a slimmer, network-focused industrial computer to a highly expandable edge computing platform.

New offering gives developers, students, and customers access to the full power of Workato’s enterprise-grade engine to build AI agents and MCP servers

SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Workato®, the leading Control and Execution Platform for Enterprise AI, today announced the launch of a new self-service offering that gives customers, developers, and students across Asia access to the Workato platform to govern and scale their AI initiatives, including building and productionizing AI agents and MCP servers.

Making AI accessible has been at the heart of Workato’s mission the past several years. Through the AI Institute Alliance, unveiled in September 2025, Workato partnered with leading institutes of higher learning across Singapore, including Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, the Singapore University of Social Sciences, and the National University of Singapore. The initiative equipped students and educators with automation and AI skills.

The AI Lab, which opened a year later, extended that commitment further into the public sector through its partnership with EDB, and into inclusive hiring through SG Enable.

The newly launched self-serve platform will provide users access to:

A free account to start building immediately, with the option to upgrade to a paid plan, no contract required, as projects growThe ability to build recipes, Agents/Genies, and MCP servers directly on the platformThe same governed, enterprise-grade engine that powers Workato’s largest deploymentsA path built for independent developers, students, and small teams, as well as large enterprises

Since launching in 2026 in North America, Workato has seen rapid growth in the builder community. The platform is enterprise grade, but free to get started. As builders solve problems for their business, they can grow by upgrading to a paid plan. With this launch in Singapore, Workato is making an investment in the local builder community.

“The next era of AI won’t be defined by who has access to intelligence, but by who can turn it into action. We’re putting the same enterprise-grade power trusted by the world’s largest companies into the hands of every builder. We want everyone to be able to transform how their business operates,” said Rishi Mallik, Chief Growth Officer, Workato. 

Workato showcased its self-serve platform and broader community initiatives at World of Workato (WOW) 2026 in Singapore.
