Technology to achieve 'net zero'

"In alignment with the Tata group’s pioneering values, we have taken this strategic step in our journey towards decarbonisation. We will continue our quest to remain an industry leader in sustainability by setting new benchmarks for a better tomorrow. For the sustainability of the steel industry globally and particularly in a growing country like India, it is essential that we find economical solutions for capturing and use of CO₂ at scale. Leadership in mitigating emissions, accessing low-cost clean energy, and providing circular economy solutions will define our sector’s journey going forward.
The operational experience gathered from this 5 tonnes per day CO₂ capture plant will give us the required data and confidence to establish larger carbon capture plants in future. As the next step, we aim to establish scaled up facilities of CO₂ capture integrated with utilisation avenues."

"Chevron is committed to producing affordable, reliable, and ever-cleaner energy. We invest in breakthrough technologies that both lower emissions in oil and gas and are integral to low carbon value chains. Our investment in Carbon Clean aims to help commercialize and scale carbon capture utilization and storage technologies, a key part of delivering on our commitment."

"Since October 2016, Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited, in partnership with Carbon Clean, has been operating the world’s first industrial-scale carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) plant near Chennai, India. Installed on a coal-fired boiler, the plant is designed to capture 60,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year. Not only does it meet cost and performance expectations, but we’re able to convert the CO₂ into soda ash (an ingredient found in commercial household products)."

"Compared to the standard amine we use, Carbon Clean's technology has a lower specific heat demand and allows us to operate the plant in a much smoother way. While using APBS-CARBex our plants operate very smoothly, especially during hot summer periods we see less foaming and fluctuations in biomethane production."

"Accomplishing CO₂ capture at an industrial scale and affordable cost is one of the biggest challenges that CEMEX is facing in its road to deliver net-zero CO₂ concrete products globally by 2050. Partnering with Carbon Clean seemed like a perfect fit for us. We believe in their technology and know that working together, we can make possible a more cost-effective carbon capture solution below the $30/tonne threshold."
