Solutions to Watch: Carbon Capture, Storage, and Utilization (CCSU) Tech

Carbon Capture, Storage, and Utilization (CCSU) technology has become a critical component in the global strategy to combat climate change. This technology captures carbon dioxide emissions from sources like power plants and industrial processes, preventing carbon from entering the atmosphere, and either utilizing it in various applications or storing it underground.

As of 2023, the CCSU landscape is rapidly evolving, driven by technological advancements, increased governmental support, and growing environmental consciousness among corporations and the public. 

Check out these 5 interesting CCSU technologies:

• Cryogenic Carbon Capture™ (CCC): CCC uses a cryogenic process to freeze carbon dioxide and other pollutants out of waste streams, separating them from other gases.
• Compact Carbon Capture: Baker Hughes has developed a metal-organic framework (MOF) technology that acts as a high-capacity molecular sponge to selectively capture CO₂. This technology enables direct air capture with lower energy requirements and costs.
• Carbon Clean: Carbon Clean offers carbon capture services to industries such as steel, cement, refinery, waste to energy, and biogas. Their next-gen CCSU applications can capture up to 90% of CO₂ emissions. 
• Carbon Point Solutions:  Their Semi-Closed Cycle and CO₂-TSA processes allow both the concentration and capture of CO₂ at the distributed power system that scales across broad ranges of gas turbines and reciprocating engines and gas turbines.
• CarbonCapure: Through the use of molecular sieves, their team has invented processes and advanced materials that reduce the operating costs of capturing carbon dioxide. It also allows them to increase the scale of production.
