Carbon Capture and Conversion – Zero Carbon Technologies

Pioneering the Future of Carbon Capture Technologies:

Carbon emissions, primarily in the form of carbon dioxide (CO₂), are a major contributor to global warming and climate change. These emissions trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures, melting polar ice, and more frequent extreme weather events. According to the IPCC, global temperatures have already risen by about 1.5°C since pre-industrial times. The industries responsible for the highest carbon emissions include energy production (responsible for nearly 73% of global greenhouse gas emissions), transportation, manufacturing, and agriculture. Reducing these emissions is critical to mitigating climate change and its impacts on ecosystems and human life.

Key Profitability Factors For CCC Implementation

Cost of Capturing CO₂:

Capture costs vary widely depending on the CO₂ concentration in the source gas. For example, the cost can range from $30 to $60 per tonne for concentrated sources like ammonia or ethanol plants, but exceed $100 per tonne for dilute sources such as flue gases from power plants or refineries.

Market Price for CO₂-Derived Products:

The profitability of CCC largely depends on the value of the end products. For instance, converting CO₂ into methanol, polymers, or synthetic fuels can be economically attractive if the market price for these products is high enough.

Carbon Pricing and Government Incentives:
Carbon pricing mechanisms (e.g., carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems) can improve the profitability of CCC by making it financially viable to reduce emissions.

Scalability and Integration with Existing Infrastructure:

The ability to integrate CCC into existing industrial processes (e.g., hydrogen production, steelmaking, or cement manufacturing) can reduce CAPEX.

Utilizing CO₂ directly on-site (e.g., refineries using CO₂ to produce methanol) minimizes transportation and storage costs, enhancing profitability.

Carbon Capture and Conversion (CCC - patented technology)

Our Carbon Capture and Conversion (CCC) technology represents a transformative advancement compared to established methods like Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). While CCS focuses on capturing CO₂ and storing it underground, and CCU involves repurposing CO₂ for industrial applications, CCC goes a step further by converting captured CO₂ into valuable products like fuels, chemicals, or building materials. This approach not only mitigates emissions but also creates economic opportunities by integrating captured carbon into a circular economy, addressing both environmental and industrial challenges more holistically.
