As technology-led research and development efforts intensify, the Venice-headquartered company, which is capturing more than 44 million tonnes of CO2 annually, is advancing capture processes to make emissions reduction more efficient and cost-effective.
“With a vision to advance post-combustion carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) across a wider range of industries including biomass gasification, waste-to-energy, cement, glass, pulp & paper and steel, Giammarco Technologies remains unwaveringly dedicated to fulfilling its pivotal role in the energy transition,” it said in a statement.
Harnessing the power of the solvent hot potassium carbonate (HPC), the firm’s technologies enable capture of CO2 from industrial emissions. The HPC – Genesys scheme, comprising an absorber and a stripper, represents the simplest and most widely applicable product.
The updated company website states it has “hundreds of applications in syngas treatment” and 15 in the growing biomethane market, as well as blue ammonia and biofuels.
