Problem
The freight industry contributes significantly to global carbon emissions, yet faces challenges in decarbonizing due to the high costs and infrastructural complexities associated with transitioning to electric or hydrogen fleets. Currently, there are limited transitional solutions for operators to convert existing fleets into greener alternatives without substantial upfront investment.
Solution
Qaptis provides a mobile CO₂ capture technology designed to retrofit existing heavy-duty vehicles, capturing up to 90% of carbon emissions at the source. This technology offers a cost-effective alternative to replacing entire fleets, enabling freight companies to meet decarbonization goals while minimizing disruption to their operations. The captured CO₂ is stored on board in liquid form and can be offloaded for reuse in various applications, such as in the agri-food industry, energy production, or the creation of construction materials, supporting a circular economy. The system is designed for fast deployment and compatibility with existing fueling infrastructure.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes freight and logistics companies seeking to reduce their carbon footprint, fleet operators looking for cost-effective decarbonization solutions, and businesses aiming to meet environmental targets.
