C-Capture designs world-leading chemical processes for the capture of carbon dioxide. We have patented a unique, safe, low-cost post-combustion capture technology which uses up to 40% less energy than current commercially available technologies. The technology uses a new class of capture solvents that are amine and nitrogen free, are not classified as hazardous, are inexpensive, and could be manufactured on a large scale from biological sources. Data generated thus far has demonstrated our solvent to be very resistant to oxidation, and therefore would not degrade as quickly as existing technologies in industrial applications. Hence, C-Capture's technology presents an ideal decarbonisation solution for heavy industry, at considerably lower cost than existing options, freeing up funds to sustain their economic recovery from the pandemic. We wish to build upon existing data and expose our solvent to the most challenging conditions, such as those found in the glass-making industry which contains very high levels of oxidants. We propose to build an enhanced oxidation rig to expose our solvent formulation to extreme conditions of flue gas pollutants, to demonstrate the resilience of our solvent technology. This feasibility study will evaluate the robustness of C-Capture's advanced carbon dioxide capture process, with a view to subsequently piloting the technology in collaboration with Pilkington Glass, with whom we are working closely, in order to fully understand their requirements. By working alongside customers who are trying hard to find technological solutions to decarbonise, we are optimising our technology to fulfill market needs. Many industrial customers operate in markets characterised by razor thin margins, and are currently fighting for survival due to COVID-19\. These feasibility experiments are a crucial step in providing an industrial carbon capture technology which allows customers to recover sustainably from the pandemic by investing in infrastructure which provides jobs and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This will have a positive impact on climate change and environmental sustainability and enable the industrial sector to 'build back better' from the COVID-19 pandemic, create a more sustainable economy, and help deliver on the government's Clean Growth Strategy and net zero ambition.

C-Capture设计了世界领先的二氧化碳捕集化学工艺。我们拥有一项独特、安全、低成本的燃烧后捕集技术的专利，该技术比目前的商用技术节省高达40%的能源。该技术使用一类新的捕获溶剂，不含胺和氮，不被归类为危险，价格低廉，可以从生物来源大规模生产。迄今为止生成的数据表明，我们的溶剂非常抗氧化，因此不会像工业应用中的现有技术那样快速降解。因此，C-Capture的技术为重工业提供了理想的脱碳解决方案，成本远低于现有方案，从而释放资金以维持其从疫情中的经济复苏。我们希望在现有数据的基础上，将我们的溶剂暴露在最具挑战性的条件下，例如在玻璃制造行业中发现的那些含有非常高水平氧化剂的条件。我们建议建造一个强化氧化装置，将我们的溶剂配方暴露在烟气污染物的极端条件下，以展示我们的溶剂技术的适应能力。这项可行性研究将评估C-Capture先进的二氧化碳捕获工艺的稳健性，以期随后与我们密切合作的Pilkington Glass合作试点该技术，以充分了解他们的要求。通过与努力寻找脱碳技术解决方案的客户合作，我们正在优化我们的技术以满足市场需求。许多工业客户在利润微薄的市场中运营，目前正因COVID-19\而为生存而战。这些可行性实验是提供工业碳捕获技术的关键一步，通过投资于提供就业机会和减少温室气体排放的基础设施，使客户能够从疫情中可持续地恢复过来。这将对气候变化和环境可持续性产生积极影响，并使工业部门能够从COVID-19大流行中“重建得更好”，创造更可持续的经济，并有助于实现政府的清洁增长战略和净零目标。
