Nicepage offers an Mg‑looping carbon capture system that uses magnesite ore to extract CO₂ from high‑temperature industrial flue gases, purifies the gas for permanent burial, and converts the exothermic carbonation heat into electricity. The generated power can be fed back to the grid, providing a circular solution that reduces emissions and creates an additional revenue stream for refractory manufacturers and other heavy‑industry plants.

Problem
Industrial processes such as refractory production emit large volumes of CO₂ through flue gases, creating a need for cost‑effective capture methods that also address the growing demand for sustainable electricity.
Solution
Nicepage has developed an Mg‑looping carbon capture system that uses magnesite ore as a sorbent to extract CO₂ from industrial flue streams. The captured CO₂ is purified for permanent burial, while the exothermic carbonation reaction generates waste heat that is converted into electricity. Excess electricity can be sold back to the power grid, creating a circular process that offsets emissions and provides an additional revenue stream for plant operators. The technology has been validated through academic collaborations and patents filed in Canada and the United States, demonstrating both chemical feasibility and market interest.
Target Audience
Primary customers are refractory manufacturers and other heavy‑industry plants that emit high‑temperature flue gases, as well as carbon‑capture service providers and power grid operators seeking renewable generation sources.
