Enabling Carbon Capture

Nuada’s solution overcomes the cost, energy, and integration barriers preventing carbon capture projects.

Our ultra energy efficient 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.

Designed as an end of pipe solution, it operates independently of core processes, supports dynamic operation with rapid capture release cycles, and enables autonomous, flexible operation. Tried and tested across various industries including cement, biomass, and energy from waste. Nuada’s mature, modular technology de risks deployment and enables scalable CCUS projects that would otherwise not be economically viable.

The next-generation technology

What is it?

Our units are designed for point-source carbon capture. They combine our ground-breaking MOF solid sorbent materials with mature vacuum swing adsorption (VPSA) technology.

How does it work?

The CO2-rich flue gas is conditioned and routed to the carbon capture unit where carbon dioxide is selectively captured by the MOF filters. The lean flue gas returns to the stack to be released to the atmosphere. Once the MOF filters are suitably saturated, they are regenerated and using vacuum to release the CO2 into a high-purity stream ready for downstream operations. During this regeneration, the CO2-rich feed gas is diverted to another parallel column, providing continuous removal.

Unique Features, Game-Changing Benefits

Ultra-Energy-Efficient

Our machines use 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

Our machines do not require steam to be operated and are powered solely by electricity, enabling easy integration to existing processes. Moreover, the carbon intensity of a plant can be further reduced by leveraging renewable electricity supplies.

Mature Process Technology

Our systems are 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.

Scalable

Our systems are designed to be modular, providing the flexibility for capturing CO2 at different scales. Their modular nature enables 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, we do 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 Applications

Our tailormade and simple-to-integrate solutions use very selective MOF sorbents, making them 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 Carbon Capture Technology

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.
Blue Hydrogen Carbon Capture Technology
biomass

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.
