Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is a concept gaining traction across many industrial markets. By capturing and compressing CO₂, we can help reduce emissions from traditional hydrocarbon processes, then store or re-use it in other ways.

CO₂ can be captured by either applying oxyfuel or pre-combustion and post-combustion processes using amine or membrane-based processes. Once CO₂ is captured it can be re-used as a feedstock for various processes (i.e., in the chemical/petrochemical industry). Also, by compressing it to supercritical levels (sCO₂) it can be used as a working fluid. 

Supercritical CO₂

CO₂ can also be turned into a working fluid for many hydrocarbon-dominant processes. By compressing carbon dioxide beyond its critical point, the gas and the liquid phases become identical. We have experience with compression from the gas side, as well as compression originating from the liquid side and going to supercritical conditions.
