CARBON CAPTURE
At Helical, our mission is to empower a sustainable future by revolutionising energy production and consumption. Central to this mission is our commitment to developing and deploying a diverse range of clean energy technologies, including advanced carbon capture solutions. We recognise the urgent need to address the climate crisis, and our innovative approaches aim to reduce reliance on fossil fuels while enabling industries to minimise their carbon footprints.
Understanding Carbon Capture Technology
Carbon capture technology is designed to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from various industrial processes before they are released into the atmosphere. At Helical, we specialise in two innovative carbon capture methods:
-
Post-Combustion Carbon Capture: Utilising our proprietary dry adsorbents, including amine-coated substrates, this method captures CO2 from flue gases after combustion. This approach is highly effective for retrofitting existing plants, allowing industries to reduce emissions without major operational changes.
-
Pre-Combustion Carbon Capture: Our advanced dry adsorbents are also employed in calcium looping, a high-temperature method that captures CO2 before it is emitted during fuel combustion. By transforming fuels into a gas mixture and removing CO2 at this stage, we significantly lower overall carbon emissions from energy-intensive processes.
How Helical Can Assist Various Industries
1. Cement Industry
The cement sector is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions. Helical's carbon capture technologies can assist cement manufacturers in implementing post-combustion systems, effectively offsetting emissions during production and promoting more sustainable practices.
2. Steel and Iron Production
Steel manufacturing is energy-intensive, producing substantial CO2 emissions. Our pre-combustion carbon capture solutions, particularly calcium looping, enable steel and iron producers to mitigate emissions while enhancing energy efficiency, creating a more sustainable production process.
3. Oil and Gas Sector
In the oil and gas industry, our carbon capture technologies facilitate effective post-combustion capture of CO2 during extraction and refining processes. By integrating these solutions, companies can transition towards cleaner operations and comply with evolving environmental regulations.
4. Glass Manufacturing
The glass industry, known for its high energy consumption, can significantly benefit from our post-combustion carbon capture technologies. By implementing these solutions, manufacturers can reduce emissions while improving energy efficiency, supporting their sustainability goals.
5. Power Generation
Our carbon capture systems are applicable in both traditional and renewable power generation. With our proprietary pre-combustion and post-combustion technologies, we enable power plants to effectively capture CO2 emissions, contributing to carbon neutrality in the energy sector.
