UK: Cool Planet Technologies has successfully tested its third-generation carbon capture membrane module at its Grimsby site. The test validated the scalability and performance of the company’s membrane process at flow rates of up to 37,000t/yr of captured CO₂ and recovery rates of 95% CO₂. Further tests were also conducted with a lime manufacturer in for a project which will use Cool Planet’s technology to decarbonise one of its kilns. The module will now be deployed at Holcim’s Höver cement plant in Germany for a 12-month demonstration project.
Andrew Corner, CEO of Cool Planet, said “This achievement validates years of innovation and positions Cool Planet at the forefront of lower cost, scalable industrial carbon capture solutions. The UK tests not only confirmed the performance and robustness of our technology, but also significantly strengthened industry confidence in our ability to help them deliver on their global decarbonisation goals.”
