Carbon capture

Carbon capture systems for capturing CO2 from flue gases, or other carbon dioxide containing streams, and producing (biogenic) CO2. To make your industrial company and process more sustainable and more profitable.

CO2 capture

HyGear’s carbon capture systems extract CO₂ from flue gases and CO₂-rich streams, delivering high-purity CO₂ (>98%). Our modular, containerized systems handle up to 2,000 Nm³/hr (or 1,250 SCFM) of flue gas and integrate with existing processes, including hydrogen production with the Hy.GEN®. Utilizing Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) or amine-based technology and for the production of a high-quality gaseous or liquid (bio)CO₂ as valuable end-product.

Our turnkey system

Supplied with in-house technology. The below image is an illustrative representation.

First stage VPSA

The first VPSA stage and the core of HyGear’s VPSA capture system are the pressure vessels, which are filled with adsorbent material to capture CO₂ from flue gas or other CO₂-containing streams using adsorption technology.
VPSA technology

Second VPSA stage

This is where the second VPSA stage occurs. The process repeats adsorption, capturing CO₂ while N₂ and O₂ and other components pass through, followed by desorption, where a vacuum releases CO₂ and some N₂. By repeating these steps, the second VPSA stage further purifies the CO₂, achieving a purity of over 98%.

Features

  • Carbon neutral or carbon negative production.
  • Your own guaranteed (bio)CO₂ supply.
  • Local production decreases dependency on big producers.
  • No transport costs due to local decentralized production.
  • Cleaner (energy) process.

Easy integration

One of the standout features of HyGear’s carbon capture system is its versatility. While it seamlessly integrates with HyGear’s Hy.GEN systems, for low carbon or sustainable biohydrogen production, it is also designed with the flexibility to connect to any other flue gas source. This adaptability is key for organizations aiming to reduce their carbon footprint.

Carbon capture for every industry

These systems support a wide range of industries and offer various downstream processing options for captured CO₂. Beyond making processes more sustainable, they also create a profitable business case. On-site production of gaseous or liquid CO₂, with the addition of a CO₂ liquefaction system, provides a valuable end product and generates an extra source of income.

Beverage companies use CO₂ for carbonation, while the food industry applies it in preservation. Greenhouses utilize CO₂ to stimulate plant growth, and manufacturers compress and cool it to produce dry ice for cooling purposes. In organic chemistry, industries incorporate CO₂ into chemical production processes. Additionally, CO₂ plays a role in the production of polymers and plastics and powers the methanation process to produce methane for energy generation.
