Frequently Asked Questions About Carbon Capture Technologies

We match technology to each industry’s specific emissions profile and site conditions. Our carbon capture portfolio spans multiple field-tested approaches:

 

  • ASCC can handle low-concentration flue gas from power plants and cement facilities, potentially capturing over 95% of CO2 with lower regeneration energy than conventional amine systems.1
  • Polybed PSA systems can purify hydrogen from syngas while capturing CO2 , with results from 1,150+ units operating since 1966.
  • Cryogenic Fractionation can produce high-purity liquid CO2 from medium to high-concentration streams using temperature and pressure controls with reduced equipment count.

We design around existing processes rather than forcing one-size-fits-all solutions. Each operation’s specific needs determine the optimal approach. CO2 concentration, utility availability, plot space and the need for utilization or permanent storage all factor into configuration.

Carbon capture delivers the greatest value where CO2 emissions are concentrated and operational stability matters. Target applications include:

 

  • Power generation using steam, combustion or combined-cycle systems where our solvent-based solutions are designed for large volumes of low-concentration flue gas.
  • Steel production from integrated blast furnace operations or transitions to electric arc furnace and hydrogen-based direct reduced iron methods (hydrogen can be recovered as co-product).
  • Cement manufacturing where clinker production generates high CO2 concentrations suited for our PSA and cryogenic technologies producing transport-ready liquid CO2.
  • Refining and petrochemicals leveraging cogeneration systems that produce steam and electricity from on-hand fuel gases.
  • Low-carbon hydrogen production where steam-methane reforming with carbon capture can enable blue hydrogen pathways at scale.

We offer modular carbon capture units that can simplify installation and help reduce schedule risk. Deployment options include:

 

  • Demo-scale units (10 KMTA) for pilots before full commercial commitment.
  • Commercial-scale systems (200 KMTA) designed for large industrial operations.
  • Controlled off-site fabrication can minimize on-site work and weather delays.
  • Fixed cost and schedule targets versus traditional stick-built construction.
