Problem
Heavy industries like natural gas and cement production face increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions, but current carbon capture methods can be expensive, energy-intensive, and require significant facility redesigns. Many existing solutions also rely on toxic additives, increasing operational risks and maintenance costs.
Solution
Aqualung Carbon Capture offers a membrane technology that uses water to efficiently and cost-effectively capture carbon emissions from industrial processes. Their patented membrane technology provides a high-performing, absorbent-free process for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The modular and scalable system can be retrofitted onto existing brownfield sites, aggregating clusters of industrial emitters and improving the economics for all participants. The technology requires no toxic additives or facility redesign, and saves substantial energy costs compared to other membrane or absorbent-based systems as it requires zero absorbents or associated regeneration energy.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industrial companies in sectors such as natural gas, cement, pulp & paper, and mining & metals seeking to reduce their carbon emissions and transition to more sustainable business models.
Features
