Cryogenic Carbon Capture™ (CCC)

Beyond Sequestration

CCC goes beyond permanent below ground geologic storage of captured carbon by delivering liquid carbon dioxide as a usable or saleable commodity. Furthermore, CCC reduces carbon emissions by 95 to 99% with half the cost and energy of competing processes and also eliminates harmful SOx, NOx and mercury pollutants from flue gases.

Conceptually Simple and Proven Process

Integrates seamlessly with Chart's cryogenic liquefaction, storage and distribution technology and products

Captures up to 99% of emissions from natural gas, coal, cement and biomass

Lowest cost and easiest retrofit carbon capture technology

Integrated grid scale energy storage

Produces high purity liquid CO₂

"Of all these [carbon capture] processes, I regard the CCC process to have the greatest potential." Howard Herzog, MIT Energy Initiative

Perfect Fit

CCC is a perfect fit with Chart's IPSMR® process technology, brazed aluminum heat exchangers, liquid CO2 storage tanks and transportables providing liquid CO2 for end-use applications.

Energy Storing

CCC's 'Energy Storing' implementation also enables highly efficient grid scale energy storage with better use of renewable energy sources that virtually eliminates the parasitic load during peak demand.

Easy Retrofit

CCC is a true bolt-on technology that can be fitted onto existing plants or integrated into new plants for additional energy saving benefits.

Proven in the field

SES and partners teamed up to deliver the cement industry's first integrated carbon capture pilot plant and have also conducted successful field demonstrations using natural gas, coal and bio-mass as exhaust gas sources.

Eliminating Methane Emissions

The Kathairos™ Solution uses liquid nitrogen, instead of methane, to operate pneumatic devices at off-grid oil and gas facilities thereby eliminating methane emissions during routine site venting. Chart's MicroBulk system provides a continuous unattended nitrogen supply. Solution can be purchased outright or leased.

Cryogenic Carbon Capture

Our carbon capture process can significantly reduce the cost of producing high purity liquid CO2 while enabling grid-scale energy storage.

Eliminating Fugitive Methane Emissions

The Kathairos Solution works with Chart's MicroBulk system to provide a continuous, unattended supply of nitrogen for pneumatic devices at off-grid oil and gas facilities.

Cryogenic Carbon Capture Case Study

Pilot project captured carbon dioxide from flue gas at a cement factory. The 1 tonne per day of liquid carbon dioxide produced during this small-scale pilot project was re-used during the curing process for concrete, turning a waste, environmentally damaging product into a valuable commodity.
