Gas processing company BCCK and Carbon Clean have joined forces to bring Carbon Clean’s semi-modular CaptureX technology to customers throughout the US.
The partnership aims to support industrial decarbonisation efforts in sectors such as oil and gas, gas processing, air separation, power generation, landfill gas, biogas and hydrogen.
Carbon Clean’s CaptureX technology, which is 80% modularised and containerised, offers an alternative to traditional open-plant construction.
According to the company, by reducing installation time and simplifying integration with existing industrial operations, the technology enables businesses to make faster progress toward their emissions reduction goals.
Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean, spoke on the importance of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) in the clean energy transition.
“The opportunity to decarbonise is compelling, with CCUS a crucial lever. Our collaboration with BCCK delivers tangible business and decarbonisation benefits through providing a proven alternative to open-plant construction, deployed in 49 sites globally,” he said.

The process begins by extracting flue gases, which contain CO2, from operations like power generation and oil and gas processing. These gases pass through an absorber column where a specially designed solvent selectively absorbs CO2, separating it from other components.
The CO2-laden solvent is then heated in a regenerator, releasing the CO2, which is collected for further use or storage. The solvent is recycled and reused in the process.
Kevin Blount, CEO of BCCK, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “BCCK is excited to leverage its 40 plus year pedigree in gas processing to partner with Carbon Clean and deliver innovative solutions in support of the energy transition.”
CaptureX technology is currently being used in several carbon capture projects globally., such as Tata Steel’s carbon capture efforts in India, where it captures CO2 emissions from steelmaking processes.
The technology has been deployed in various waste-to-energy plants across Europe and is involved in carbon capture at biogas and hydrogen production facilities.
