Problem
Industrial facilities release sulfur oxides and fine dust, contributing to air pollution and posing health risks. Existing flue gas desulfurization systems may not efficiently capture all pollutants, necessitating additional measures to meet stringent environmental regulations.
Solution
LowCarbon provides pre-treatment desulfurization technology designed to capture fine dust and reduce sulfur oxide emissions from industrial sources. Their Desulfurization In Combustion (DIC) technology integrates with existing flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems to enhance pollutant removal. The DIC solution utilizes GTS, a solid fuel pre-combustion desulfurization agent for coal-fired power plants, and LCLS, a liquid fuel pre-combustion desulfurization agent for ship bunker C oil. LowCarbon's LC CCUS solution employs KLC, a CO₂ capture and conversion agent, to absorb CO₂ and convert it into valuable resources like sodium carbonate. The Zero C platform facilitates direct air capture (DAC) of CO₂.
Target Audience
The primary customers include industrial facilities, power plants, and marine transportation companies seeking to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
