Innovation

Industry Problem

Enchant Energy aims to reduce industrial CO₂ emissions from existing power plants and mitigate climate change while ensuring reliable energy supply and preserving local jobs and community stability during the energy transition.

R&D Focus

Enchant Energy focuses its R&D on scaling post-combustion, amine-based carbon capture systems and expanding safe CO₂ storage capacity. Their niche lies in retrofitting existing fossil-fueled power plants with proven amine solvent technology to enable deep decarbonization, particularly in low-pressure emission environments. They also develop site-specific CO₂ sequestration solutions and optimize storage infrastructure to support long-term climate goals.

Innovative Solution

Enchant Energy addresses industrial CO₂ emissions by deploying amine-based, post-combustion carbon capture systems that can reduce emissions from existing fossil-fueled power plants by up to 95%. Their solution retrofits current infrastructure with proven technology to capture CO₂ at the source, then sequesters it in secure underground storage, ensuring reliable energy while mitigating climate change.

Solution Effectiveness

Enchant Energy’s carbon capture solution is highly effective, with the potential to reduce CO₂ emissions by 95% or more from retrofitted fossil-fueled power plants. Their technology, based on a proprietary amine-based solvent system developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, has already been proven at the Petra Nova Plant in Texas, where it captured 1.4 million metric tons of CO₂ annually. The San Juan Generating Station FEED Study confirmed both the technical feasibility and economic viability of scaling this solution for large power plants.

Star Product

Post-Combustion Amine-Based Carbon Capture System is Enchant Energy’s core solution and star product because it enables up to 95% CO₂ emission reduction from existing fossil-fueled power plants. It leverages proven, patented technology from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and is scalable, cost-effective, and compatible with a wide range of industrial emitters, making it central to Enchant’s mission of decarbonization and climate impact.

Demo Product or Complete Product?

Enchant Energy announced its first major project in 2019: the retrofit of the San Juan Generating Station in New Mexico with post-combustion, amine-based carbon capture technology. This initiative aimed to transform the coal-fired plant into one of the world’s largest carbon capture facilities, targeting a 95% reduction in CO₂ emissions.

M&A and Collabs

Collab

Enchant signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MHIA in 2019, as the carbon capture technology provider, and Kiewit and Sargent & Lundy as the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors. This team previously collaborated on the Petra Nova carbon capture project.

Collab

NTEC has invested in Enchant Energy in 2019 to support CCS initiatives, including a proposed retrofit of the Four Corners Power Plant. This project aims to capture over 95% of CO₂ emissions using Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ KS-21™ solvent technology.
