We designed, built, and installed a pilot plant and have been operating it on site, with real flue gas, since early 2019. Patents covering the core concepts were submitted in 20.ĭrax As the biogas trials were winding down, C-Capture was approached by the UK’s largest power station, Drax near Selby, North Yorkshire, to understand if our technology could be applied to their biomass derived flue gas. The experience we’d gained and the suite of equipment we had put together developing the first generation solvent allowed us to rapidly optimise the new solvent concept and demonstrate it up to pre-pilot scale. We quickly realised it was something incredibly special. It was whilst playing around with some non-intuitive chemistry, a so-called ‘Friday afternoon experiment’, that Douglas discovered the basis of our unique solvent chemistry. We knew we needed something completely different for our next generation of technology. However, we were also aware that many of the limitations of existing amine-based technologies, including our own, are inherent to all such systems. ![]() Our first-generation solvent was based on a combination of an amine and non-amine component and provided both a benchmark for future developments and the experience to bring new ideas to fruition.
