A revolutionary technology to capture CO2 from ambient air for use as a gas or for conversion to pure, pelletised dry-ice for industrial, commercial and domestic use.
Technology
- Our CO2 generator prototype produces up to 40 tons per annum of CO2.
- Power requirement is around 4 MWh/ton-CO2
- Generates CO2 directly from air (Direct Air Capture) using small footprint unit (5m wide x 9m long x 3m high).
- Enabled by novel high surface area and tuneable porous sorbent materials.
- Optimised for performance in the presence of moisture and for best energy economics.
- Written testimonials obtained from several industry early adopters, with field trials being planned.
- We are currently negotiating a joint venture to take the product to market.
- We are engaging with future partners to bring demonstration technology to field trials.
Applications
- CO2 capture, storage and utilisation
- Liquid, solid or gaseous CO2
- Beverages and breweries
- Greenhouses.
Intellectual property
- Sorbent patent and considerable know-how and designs.
- Some IP to be selectively licensed out for exploitation in field-limited applications.
