ESG Clean Energy develops a breakthrough carbon capture system

ESG Clean Energy has developed a carbon capture system that captures 100 percent of the CO2 from a combustion exhaust stream.

This breakthrough makes it possible for any internal combustion engine – big or small – to have no carbon dioxide emissions.

ESG’s carbon capture system consists of a two-step process. First, it removes the water from the exhaust. ESG’s water removal system consists of an advanced ceramic membrane incorporated into a unique mechanical cooling system.

After that, it captures the CO2, utilizing readily available low-cost solid adsorbers that are nontoxic and easy to handle. Drying the exhaust more than doubles a CO2-adsorbent’s capacity, enabling 100 percent of the carbon to be captured while simultaneously reducing the size and cost of the system.

ESG’s patented water removal and carbon capture system is designed for both large and small systems. Further, it can be retrofitted onto current operating power plants plus applied to mobile applications.

“This is a huge milestone for our development team and one we have been anticipating for some time,” Nick Scuderi, president of ESG Clean Energy, said. “It’s great to see the proof and the data that shows we are able to capture 100% of the C02 from an internal combustion engine.”

Testing was conducted at the company’s 4.4MW gas-powered power generation plant in Holyoke, Mass., that serves the local electrical grid.

ESG Clean Energy plans on implementing this technology across all its planned facilities. Also, it has licensed the technology to a subsidiary of Camber Energy for all of Canada and multiple locations in the United States.
