Nuada Adspire

Versatile. Validated.

Ultra Energy-Efficient Carbon Capture,
Tried and Tested Across Industries

Tried and tested across various industries including cement, biomass, and energy from waste, Nuada’s Adspire process is enabling scalable CCUS projects that would otherwise not be economically viable.

Introducing Adspire

Nuada’s Adspire process overcomes the cost, energy, and integration barriers that prevent carbon capture projects from going ahead.

Built as an end of pipe solution, Adspire operates independently of core processes, supports dynamic operation with rapid capture release cycles, and enables autonomous, flexible operation. Adspire combines Nuada’s ground-breaking MOF solid sorbent materials with mature vacuum swing adsorption (VPSA) technology.

The Adspire process

Nuada’s ultra energy efficient Adspire process uses up to 90 percent less energy than incumbent solvent based approaches, significantly lowering the cost of capture and removing the electricity and steam penalties that undermine project economics. The system is heatless and solventless, integrates seamlessly with existing sites, requires no additional emissions, and has a compact footprint that reduces both capital cost and balance of plant requirements.

Adspire: Game-Changing Benefits

Ultra-Energy-Efficient

Adspire uses pressure instead of heat to separate CO₂. This decreases the energy penalty for carbon capture by up to 90% compared to traditional solvent solutions.

“Heatless” Capture

Adspire does not require steam to be operated and is powered solely by electricity, enabling easy integration to existing processes. This means the carbon intensity of a plant can be further reduced by leveraging renewable electricity supplies.

Mature Process Technology

Adspire is based on vacuum swing adsorption, a mature and proven separation technology that has been industrially applied at scale for gas generation over many decades. Therefore, the manufacturing capabilities and supply chains already exist for rapid large-scale deployment, minimising the scale-up risk usually involved with the adoption of other 2nd generation capture technologies.

Modular, Scalable & End-of-Pipe

Adspire provides the flexibility for capturing CO₂ at different scales and enables autonomous, end-of-pipe operation with no impact on core processes. This enables Nuada to de-risk investments for carbon capture by gradually adding capacity in alignment with the progression of decarbonisation goals.

No Toxic Solvents

Unlike most carbon capture technologies, Adspire does not use toxic solvents that can evaporate through time and release hazardous emissions. Our filters consist of stable solid sorbents with minimum environmental impact.

Flexible & Dynamic Operation

Rapid capture-release cycles support real-time operational flexibility. Adspire uses very selective MOF sorbents, making the process highly effective for capturing CO₂ from variable point sources. The modular nature of the technology provides also the flexibility to treat a broad spectrum of off-gases, regardless of their scale or type.

Example Markets

Cement and Lime

Nuada’s end-of-pipe, heatless solution can be easily retrofitted to cement and lime kilns, capturing unavoidable emissions from the calcination process. Our highly efficient units enable low-carbon production with minimal impact on producers’ bottom line.

Steel

Nuada’s carbon capture technology can be used to reduce emissions from the various point sources involved in steel making. Our flexible solution can be adaptable for treating the variable concentrations of CO2 and trace impurities present in the multiple off-gas streams.

Waste to Energy

Our modular and compact technology is well suited for application in Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plants. Our “heatless” capture process not only facilitates process integration but also results in ultra-high energy efficiency, enabling WtE producers to retain their maximum energy output while achieving negative emissions.

Biomass Incineration

Nuada’s solution is designed for biomass energy facilities, delivering low parasitic loads and maximising carbon-negative power with wide applicability across plant scales. Our compact, fully electrified units enable low-cost, scalable carbon removals, making BECCS economically viable and capable of offsetting hard-to-abate industrial emissions to support global net-zero goals.
