Carbon Clean is a leader in revolutionising carbon capture solutions for hard-to-abate industries including cement, steel, refineries, and energy from waste. The company’s patented technology significantly reduces the costs of carbon capture when compared to conventional solutions.

Carbon Clean has over a decade of experience in designing, building, and operating industrial carbon capture systems and it has 49 technology references around the world. The company is an innovation leader in the CCUS market, with over 105 active patent assets across 18 patent families covering 30 countries, and has developed a modular technology, CycloneCC, that is vital for scaling industrial carbon capture deployment to achieve global net zero targets.  

The company provides all the services needed including:

• Technology license and solvent supply

• Full process design package (PDP) and proprietary equipment

• End-to-end systems: design, build, financing and operation

• CycloneCC Modular Technology: This is a compact and cost-effective solution that uses rotating packed beds (RPBs) to enhance the efficiency of carbon capture. The modular, "plug and play" design makes it scalable and easy to integrate with existing industrial operations. Built on a skid mount, each CycloneCC unit will be delivered ready to install and can be fully operational in less than eight weeks.

• CaptureX Semi-Modular Technology: This semi-modular approach captures CO₂ from industrial emissions. It features prefabricated and containerized units that minimize site infrastructure needs and costs.

• Proprietary Solvent Technology: Carbon Clean's patented Amine-Promoted Buffer Salt (APBS) solvents: APBS-CDRMax® and APBS-CARBex®. The solvents can be also used as either a drop-in substitute into existing systems such as biogas separation or used with an integrated carbon capture system.

The company is EPC vendor neutral. They have EPC partners, but the client is able to choose their own EPC.

The technology has been proven in different applications:

• In 2016, Tuticorin Alkali Chemical and fertilizer Ltf. partnered with Carbon Clean to build a CCS plant located near Chennai. It has been achieving 90% carbon capture rates since it begun.

• In 2017, Carbon Clean announced test results from a pilot at the Technology Center Mongstad showed 50% cost reduction in construction materials.

• In 2018, Carbon Clean in collaboration with Arcanum Energy, surpased the 500,000 m3 of biogas processed per day with 25% less thermal energy needed.

Carbon Clean is focused on serving a range of industrial markets, including:

• Cement plants

• Refineries

• Steel production

• Energy from waste

• Biogas (RNG) facilities

The CDRMax process can capture off-gases from power facilities, boilers, kilns and chemical facilities, handling a range of CO₂ concentrations from 3% to 25% by volume.
