ESG Clean Energy reaches new milestone

This major technical milestone was achieved by increasing both the systems’ temperature and pressure differentials, enabling unprecedented exhaust dryness levels. This development makes it possible to conduct large- and small-scale direct carbon capture in a more viable and cost-effective manner. Testing was conducted at the company’s 4.4 MW gas-powered power generation plant in Holyoke that serves the local electrical grid.
“Reaching over 99% water removal is essentially making the emissions bone-dry,” said Nick Scuderi, President of ESG Clean Energy, LLC. “With exhaust that dry, we believe capturing carbon dioxide can be done so much easier using low-cost and energy efficient solid adsorbers. This development provides a clearer path to applying this technology to all types of fossil fuel engines – from small and large power plants to the transportation industry.”
ESG Clean Energy plans on implementing this technology across all its planned facilities and has licensed the technology to a subsidiary of Camber Energy (NYSE (Amex): CEI) for all of Canada and multiple locations in the US.
ESG Clean Energy’s system treats the exhaust stream to remove the water vapour before it is treated for capturing CO2. This patented system consists of an advanced ceramic membrane that has been incorporated into a unique mechanical cooling system. With this technology, capturing CO2 becomes both low cost and energy efficient. It is designed to be used on both large and small systems and can be retrofitted onto current operating power plants.
