The first deployment of a fully modular, 10 tpd industrial CycloneCC carbon capture unit has been announced by ADNOC and Carbon Clean, a leader in cost-effective carbon capture solutions. ADNOC has selected Carbon Clean’s modular CycloneCC technology for a carbon capture project at Fertiglobe’s 100%-owned nitrogen fertilizer plant, in the Al Ruways Industrial Complex in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
The CycloneCC mobile unit is being fabricated in the UAE, ahead of commissioning this month. CycloneCC is a modular, prefabricated and skid-mounted carbon capture solution that will radically impact the economics of carbon capture and industrial decarbonisation. Modular carbon capture solutions are vital for scaling industrial carbon capture deployment to achieve global net zero targets.
Using process intensification technologies, CycloneCC reduces the size of the equipment by 10 times and the overall unit footprint is up to 50% smaller than conventional carbon capture. Additionally, by using Carbon Clean’s proprietary APBS-CDRMax® solvent, the technology can deliver lower OPEX while delivering higher performance.
Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean, said: “This project is hugely significant given it’s the first industrial deployment of our award-winning CycloneCC technology anywhere in the world. We are moving a step closer to achieving full commercialisation of this modular solution which will play a vital role in decarbonising heavy industries and achieving net zero targets. I’m especially pleased to be working alongside ADNOC, which is at the forefront of efforts to develop climate critical sectors such as CCUS.”
Ahmed El-Hoshy, CEO of Fertiglobe, added: “We are pleased that ADNOC has selected Carbon Clean’s innovative and proprietary carbon capture technology to be deployed at our nitrogen fertilizer plant in Ruways. It demonstrates an important step in achieving the UAE’s decarbonisation agenda and net zero commitment.”

The EIA reports that US distillate consumption so far this year is lower than usual because of warm winter weather, reduced manufacturing activity, and continued substitution of biofuels in place of petroleum distillate on the US West Coast (PADD 5).
