Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS)

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is no longer a question but a necessity. Among the solutions available Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) plays an essential role in decarbonizing the hard-to-abate industry. CCUS encompasses technologies that remove CO₂ from flue gas, syngas, process gases, or the atmosphere and recycle it as fuels or chemicals. Alternatively, CO2 can be stored in geological cavities.

Abatting & Valorizing CO₂

CO₂ capture and utilization (CCUS) is a crucial strategy for achieving carbon neutrality. CCUS encompasses two main approaches: carbon capture and storage (CCS), which permanently sequesters CO₂ emissions from industrial sources, and carbon capture and utilization (CCU), which repurposes CO₂ for various applications, supporting a circular carbon economy.  These technologies mitigate climate change by reducing GHG emissions and offer economic benefits. As climate action urgency grows, CCUS is increasingly integrated into regulatory frameworks and policy agendas worldwide, making it an essential component of sustainable development. 

 

Axens is dedicated to advancing CCUS technologies. Our expertise in process design, catalysis, and energy efficiency enables us to offer tailored solutions that meet customer needs. With a focus on reducing costs and improving the environmental performance of CCUS systems, we are accelerating the transition to a low-carbon future.

Our Solutions

CO₂ Capture

Hard-to-abate industries such as coal, gas, and oil-fired power plants, as well as cement, iron, steel production, and oil refining, are major sources of GHG emissions. Axens offers advanced carbon capture solutions, employing both post-combustion (DMX™) and pre-combustion (AdvAmine™) technologies to effectively reduce emissions.

CO₂ Conditioning

CO₂ can contain a wide range of impurities, and its applications vary from pipeline transport to being a key reactant in synthetic fuels or chemicals productions. With Axens' expertise and its comprehensive suite of CO₂ conditioning solutions, we ensure your CO₂ meets the exact purity standards required for your application.

CO₂ Utilization

CO₂ utilization involves using the captured CO₂ for various purposes instead of storing it underground. CO₂ valorization into e-fuels is the most promising and profitable route to recycle carbon.

CO₂ Capture process, DMX™

The 3D project (DMX™ Demonstration in Dunkirk) is an innovative initiative led by Axens and a consortium of European partners to demonstrate an advanced CO2 capture process. The project focuses on using the DMX™ technology, which significantly reduces energy consumption for CO2 capture by nearly 35% compared to traditional methods 

The pilot plant, located at the ArcelorMittal Dunkirk, France, aims to capture CO2 from blast furnace gases emitted during steel production. 

This project is a crucial step towards large-scale deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, helping to reduce emissions from hard-to-abate industries and meet global climate targets
