Carbon Capture

Carbon Value develops compact and high-performance carbon capture systems for onshore and offshore applications.
Its core solution is an RPB-based modular carbon capture system that captures CO₂ using centrifugal force to maximize gas–liquid contact.
The system is designed for distributed emission sources such as SOFC fuel cells, shipboard OCCS, on-site hydrogen production, biogas upgrading, and small-to-medium industrial flue gas.
Carbon Value combines RPB process design, proprietary absorbents, and optimization software to provide a total solution for next-generation CO₂ capture.

Onshore / Offshore CO₂ Capture Package
- Applicable to fuel cells, hydrogen systems, ships, and industrial facilities.

(1) Problem Definition / Development Background

Existing tower-type wet carbon capture systems require large installation space and high structures.
These systems are difficult to apply to distributed emission sources and space-constrained environments such as ships and small industrial facilities.
Solvent regeneration requires high thermal energy and accounts for a large portion of total operating cost.
New carbon emission sources require modular systems with fast installation, smaller footprint, and lower CAPEX/OPEX.

(2) Value Proposition / Solution

Carbon Value’s RPB system reduces carbon capture equipment size by using centrifugal force and compact gas–liquid contact design.
The modular system enables fast factory manufacturing, reduced installation time, and phased capacity expansion.
It reduces OPEX through RPB process efficiency, low-energy absorbents, and waste-heat integration.
The solution supports decarbonization of small and distributed emission sources that are difficult to address with conventional tower-type systems.

Compact Design: Reduces system volume to approximately one-tenth of tower-based scrubber systems.
Height Reduction: Demonstrated reduction from 48 m tower-type equipment to approximately 2.6 m compact system height.
Energy Reduction: Expected 20–50% energy reduction compared with commercial scrubbers.
High Purity: Supports CO₂ purity over 99.9%.
Flexible Capacity: Capture capacity of approximately 2–10 tons per day.
Modular Expansion: Plug-and-play system enables capacity expansion and faster deployment.
Onshore / Offshore Readiness: Obtained LR AIP certification for RPB-based CO₂ capture device for onshore and offshore use.
