Decarbonisation
The industry emissions challenge
Industry has an emissions challenge. We’re here to solve it. You can’t combat climate change without tackling industrial emissions; they account for 30% of global CO2 emissions and can be hard to reduce.
Point source carbon capture is the best decarbonisation option for many industries.
The challenge for industry
Industry is vital for global economies, enabling growth, underpinning exports and providing jobs for millions of people. Demand for materials and goods continues to grow and so too do industrial emissions. In fact, emissions from industry are growing faster than any other sector.
Decarbonisation must work for everyone and every sector. So, it is essential that heavy industries can transition to meet emissions targets and play their part in a net zero economy.
- Industrial assets, such as cement or steel plants, have long lifetimes. Reaching net zero by 2050 is within one investment cycle for many industries. Urgent action to decarbonise is required now.
- Heavy industries often require extremely high temperatures for manufacturing and processing. It is not practical or cost-effective to use renewable electricity with all of today’s technologies.
- Many processes in heavy industry produce vast amounts of emissions as a by-product and few alternative processes are currently available.
- Profit margins are tight in most industries, so decarbonisation solutions must make business sense.
Our next-generation modular technology, CycloneCC, is revolutionising the industrial carbon capture market.
We’ve optimised carbon capture for industrial sites where space is limited, and cost is a key priority. CycloneCC is smaller and more cost-effective than conventional carbon capture technologies. Thanks to prefabricated, modular and standardised units, installation requires minimal downtime and capacity can be increased over time.
