The CycloneCC C1 unit is fully modular and columnless, achieving a height reduction of 70% compared to conventional solutions. Rotating Packed Bed (RPB) technology replaces every column used in a conventional plant, which reduces the steel required by 35% and lowers the unit’s carbon footprint.
The unit footprint is up to 50% smaller than conventional carbon capture plants, with its largest equipment sizes reduced by a factor of 10. Each unit is prefabricated, skid-mounted and delivered on road truckable modules, cutting the costs associated with transport, logistics, site preparation and installation. CycloneCC C1 uses first-of-a-kind (FOAK) technology to reduce the total installed cost of carbon capture by up to 50% compared to conventional solutions.
With the looming 2030 deadline for achieving a 45% reduction in global emissions, hard-to-abate industries are facing increasing pressure to decarbonise. However, more than 50% of industrial emitters lack the space required to deploy conventional carbon capture plants. CycloneCC C1 offers a viable, cost-effective route to decarbonisation, particularly for small-to-midsize emitters. CycloneCC C1 is also ideal for emitters of all sizes looking to deploy carbon capture units across multiple flue gas emission sources.
Prateek Bumb, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Carbon Clean, said: “The launch of the CycloneCC C1 series is a major milestone in the technology’s commercialisation. Repeatability is key to mass adoption, as demonstrated with solar panels and EV batteries. Carbon Clean is leading a similar transformation through eliminating the columns used in conventional carbon capture solutions. Delivering fully modular, columnless, replicable units with a substantially smaller footprint is a technological breakthrough. CycloneCC’s ‘Lego-block’, ‘plug and play’ design makes it simple and cost-effective to install, making carbon capture financially and logistically viable to be deployed at scale. First-mover customers and early adopters will have the advantage of tangible decarbonisation results while benefiting from a staggered approach to capital investment due to CycloneCC C1’s modular design.”
