Carbotreat provides end‑to‑end carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS) systems that can be retrofitted to existing heavy‑industry plants or integrated into new facilities. Its amine‑based absorption and high‑temperature desorption deliver ~99% pure CO₂, which can be liquefied on‑site for transport or converted into marketable products such as sodium bicarbonate, while complying with EU ETS reporting.

Problem
Industrial processes such as refining, steelmaking, cement production, and maritime operations emit large volumes of CO₂, exposing companies to tightening emissions regulations and rising carbon‑credit costs while limiting their ability to transition toward carbon‑neutral operations.
Solution
Carbotreat delivers end‑to‑end carbon‑capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS) solutions that can be retrofitted into existing plants or incorporated into new facilities. The core technology uses an optimized amine‑based solvent in a packed‑column absorber to extract CO₂ from flue gases, followed by thermal desorption that yields ≈ 99 % pure CO₂. The captured gas can be liquefied on‑site for transport to offshore storage reservoirs or for use in downstream markets such as horticultural fertilization. Carbotreat also offers conversion pathways—e.g., synthesis of sodium bicarbonate or flue‑gas cleaning sludges—enabling customers to generate saleable products from the captured CO₂. Engineering, commissioning, and pilot‑plant services are provided to de‑risk projects and produce detailed business cases with quantified return‑on‑investment. All solutions are designed for integration with existing process control systems and comply with EU ETS reporting requirements.
Target Audience
Primary customers are heavy‑industry operators—including oil refineries, steel and cement manufacturers, chemical plants, and maritime fuel users—who must meet emissions caps and seek profitable carbon‑neutral solutions.
Features
- Amine‑based absorption system with proprietary solvent selection algorithm for maximum capture efficiency across a wide range of gas compositions.
- High‑temperature desorber delivering near‑100 % CO₂ purity, suitable for both liquefaction and chemical conversion streams.
- On‑site CO₂ liquefaction unit that produces transport‑ready liquid CO₂ at pressures compatible with existing pipeline or tanker infrastructure.
- Modular pilot and demonstration plants that allow customers to validate performance and economics before full‑scale deployment.
- Custom engineering, retrofitting, and commissioning services covering mechanical, civil, and control‑system integration.
- Utilization pathways such as sodium bicarbonate production and flue‑gas cleaning sludge generation, turning captured CO₂ into marketable commodities.
- Full compliance with EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) reporting and carbon‑credit generation, with data logging and audit‑ready documentation.
