Problem
Heavy‑industry plants such as cement, steel, refineries and waste‑to‑energy facilities emit large volumes of CO₂, yet conventional carbon capture equipment is bulky, costly and disruptive to install, making large‑scale decarbonisation difficult to achieve on time and within budget.
Solution
Carbon Clean provides modular, pre‑fabricated carbon capture systems that can be installed quickly in tight plant spaces. Their CycloneCC™ technology uses rotating packed beds to intensify mass transfer, reducing equipment size by up to 50 % and cutting capital costs by roughly the same amount without sacrificing performance. The CaptureX™ semi‑modular line pairs the same compact hardware with a proprietary amine‑promoted buffer‑salt solvent (APBS‑CDRMax®) that lowers energy demand and extends solvent life. All modules are skid‑mounted, factory‑tested and truck‑transportable, allowing phased deployment and easy scaling from 75 to 855 tonnes of CO₂ captured per day per train. Cloud‑based engineering support and a technology‑licensing model ensure customers receive end‑to‑end assistance from design through operation.
Target Audience
Primary customers are heavy‑industry operators in cement, steel, refining, petrochemical and waste‑to‑energy sectors seeking cost‑effective, space‑efficient CO₂ capture solutions that can be deployed rapidly and scaled over time.
