Carbon Clean has completed the supply chain for its new CycloneCC carbon capture system, marking a step towards making the technology fully commercially available.
The development follows a partnership with German engineering firm Julius Montz GmbH, which will manufacture core components and support distribution through Koch Engineered Solutions’ (KES) global network.
The agreement with Montz secures the supply of metal packing for CycloneCC’s rotating packed beds (RPBs), a design that uses centrifugal force to enhance carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption.
Combined with Carbon Clean’s proprietary solvent, the technology aims to provide a compact solution for capturing emissions.
According to Carbon Clean, the units are prefabricated in modular form, making it easier to transport by road and install on-site.
“Signing this agreement with Montz completes the final piece of the jigsaw for our CycloneCC supply chain,” said Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean.
“This is an important step towards the product’s full commercialisation, accelerating the global deployment of industrial carbon capture. Montz’s proven, specialist expertise, combined with Koch Engineered Solutions’ global footprint, strongly positions Carbon Clean for delivery at scale.”
Sairam Potaraju, Managing Director of Montz, described the agreement as a “win-win for KES and Carbon Clean, as well as our customers, as it aims to make carbon capture technology affordable, modular and scalable.”
The parts will be produced at Montz’s facilities in Hilden, Germany, with distribution handled by KES’s global operations.
Carbon Clean’s CycloneCC system uses a special liquid solvent, APBS-CDRMax, to capture CO2 emissions from industrial processes.
The gas flows into rotating chambers that contain a metal structure, which spins to create a strong centrifugal force. This force helps the solvent absorb CO2 more effectively, allowing Carbon Clean to capture high levels of emissions in a compact unit.
In previous projects, Carbon Clean has worked with partners across various industries. At a Tata Chemicals site in the UK, the company’s technology captured around 10 tonnes of CO2 daily, converting it into baking soda, with costs kept under $30 per tonne.
In the US, Carbon Clean has also launched pilot projects with industrial companies aiming to capture up to 100,000 tonnes annually.
