Industry Problem

CARBON value is addressing the challenges of high energy consumption, large space requirements, and low efficiency in traditional carbon capture systems. Their goal is to make carbon capture more compact, energy-efficient, and scalable for industrial use.

R&D Focus

CARBON value Co., Ltd. specializes in developing advanced, energy-efficient carbon capture technologies, focusing on compact Rotating Packed Bed (RPB) systems and proprietary solvents such as CV-S3. Their R&D innovates ultrasonic-assisted solvent regeneration and physical capture methods such as Pressure Swing Adsorption, aiming to deliver customized, high-capacity, and sustainable CO₂ capture solutions for industrial applications.

Innovative Solution

CARBON value uses a compact Rotating Packed Bed (RPB) system combined with their proprietary solvent CV-S3 and ultrasonic-assisted reboilers to efficiently capture and release CO₂. This solution significantly reduces the processing volume and energy required compared to conventional methods, enabling high-capacity, energy-saving, and space-efficient carbon capture tailored for both onshore and offshore industrial applications.

Solution Effectiveness

CARBON value’s solution achieves CO₂ capture efficiencies of 65–100% at high gas flow rates, processing up to 5,000 kg/h (3,800 Nm³/h) of flue gas in a volume 3 to 10 times smaller than conventional column systems. Their proprietary solvent CV-S3 offers a 33% higher CO₂ loading capacity than standard 30 wt% MEA solvent, while reducing regeneration energy by nearly 50%, significantly lowering operational costs and environmental impact.

Star Product

RPB (Rotating Packed Bed) CO₂ Capture System is CARBON value’s flagship solution due to its high efficiency in capturing CO₂, compact size, and ability to operate with lower energy consumption compared to traditional systems. Its adaptability for both offshore and onshore use and integration with their proprietary CV-S3 solvent makes it a standout offering in carbon capture technology.

Demo Product or Complete Product?

CARBON value successfully produced key operational data from its Bench-scale RPB system in December 2023. This marks the first tangible deployment of their core technology for CO₂ capture, laying the foundation for later installations such as the 2–10 ton/day facility.
