Carbon capture & storage (CCS)

Capturing CO2 from flue or process gas and storing it geologically — the only answer for process chemistry (cement calcination, lime) and the most expensive per tonne for everything else.

How it works

Mechanism & sizing

Post-combustion amine on dilute flue gas = the costly default; concentrated streams (SMR, oxyfuel, fermentation) capture far cheaper. Transport & storage availability decides feasibility as much as capture capex. Sequencing rule: CCS sized AFTER efficiency — every tonne you stop emitting is capture capex you skip.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment
Cut the tonnes at the source

Hot industrial equipment? Cut the heat loss.

Boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and steam lines lose energy continuously. Inzonex makes Inzonex Modular Insulation — snap-fastened modules engineered per temperature tier, not generic off-the-shelf jackets:

  • Up to 96% less heat loss from insulated surfaces
  • Surface temperature ≤45 °C — touch-safe for workers (EN ISO 13732-1)
  • 6× faster maintenance access vs standard insulation jackets and metal cladding/boxes — unclips and refits in minutes, no destruction
  • Inspectable — opens for corrosion-under-insulation checks, then refits like-new (generic jackets often don't survive removal)
  • Typical payback under 2 years — some sites 9–11 months

Every tonne you stop emitting is a tonne you don't have to report: cutting heat loss is a measurable, auditable Scope 1 reduction that flows straight into EU ETS, CBAM and your ESG / CSRD disclosures — not an offset, an actual emission cut.

FAQ

Carbon capture & storage (CCS), answered

What does CCS cost per tonne?
€60–140+ all-in for dilute flue gas; €25–60 for concentrated streams. Against €77 allowances, concentrated-source capture already pencils in places.
Who actually needs CCS?
Process-emission industries — cement/lime chemistry can't be efficiency'd away. Heat-driven sectors mostly have cheaper routes.
Why efficiency before CCS?
Capture plant is sized in t/h: cutting losses first shrinks the most expensive machine you'll ever buy.
