Veolia (ISIN FR0000124141) entered the full-scale carbon capture market through a Protos contract announced on October 27, 2026, according to Veolia Water Tech. The company will design and supply two CO2 purification and dehydration units for the facility near Ellesmere Port in Cheshire.

Carbon capture becomes a new market

The contract marks Veolia's entry into full-scale carbon capture, with its equipment preparing captured gas for transport and permanent storage. The Protos project is integrated with an energy-from-waste facility and is described by Veolia as the UK's first full-scale carbon capture plant of this type.

What does the contract add?

Once operational in mid-2029, the project is planned to capture 370,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. The facility will process up to 500,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste each year and generate up to 49.9 MW of baseload electricity for the National Grid, according to Veolia Water Tech. For investors, the strategic point is the technology position: Veolia is supplying a specialized component for a large decarbonization project rather than operating the entire facility.

Next reporting date is November 5

Veolia's finance calendar lists its nine-month 2026 key figures for November 5, 2026, at 8:30 a.m., according to the company's finance page. That update will provide the next scheduled operating checkpoint after the carbon capture announcement.
