Low Energy Carbon Capture and Utilization Technology

Carbience turns carbon dioxide into industrial cyclic carbonates through low energy carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technology designed for milder operating conditions and industrial scale-up.

WHY CONVENTIONAL ROUTES FALL SHORT

Commercialization Takes More than Green Claims

For CCU to matter commercially, it must become economically viable — reducing heat, pressure, catalyst burden, and scale-up risk, not just sounding green on paper.

High Heat Weakens the Carbon-reduction Case

Conventional cyclic carbonate production can require 120-200°C, adding energy demand to a process that is supposed to support carbon reduction.

High Pressure Adds Equipment Burden

Reaction pressure can reach 24–30 bar, raising pressure-related equipment considerations before commercial production can be discussed.

Catalyst Recovery Can Slow Evaluation

Metal-complex catalyst systems can add evaluation questions around catalyst separation, recovery, reuse, residue control, and process handling.

Advanced Carbonate Platform

TECHNOLOGY 01

LEP™ for Bulk Carbonate Production

Low Energy Process™ converts carbon dioxide into bulk cyclic carbonates, including ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC), under milder operating conditions. Carbience works with partners to evaluate licensing, joint development, and scale-up opportunities.

Sub-110°C Production Window

Carbience produces cyclic carbonates below 110°C, reducing heat demand versus conventional 120-200°C routes.

6-7 bar Operating Window

Production runs at 6-7 bar, lowering pressure requirements versus conventional 24-30 bar conditions.

10x+ Catalyst Reuse Potential

LEP™ uses a recoverable catalyst designed for 10x+ reuse, supporting lower catalyst replacement and handling burden.

High Conversion, High Purity

For propylene carbonate (PC), Carbience has demonstrated 98%+ yield and 98%+ purity under milder operating conditions.

TECHNOLOGY 02

RCC for Integrated Capture and Carbonate Conversion

Reactive Capture of CO₂ is designed to reduce desorption and liquefaction steps after capture, allowing captured carbon dioxide to move more directly into carbonate conversion.

Shorter Path from Capture to Reaction

Amine-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents are designed to capture carbon dioxide and prepare the carbon feedstock for downstream carbonate conversion.

Mild Conversion after Capture

RCC uses capture materials designed to support conversion, reducing the need for separate desorption and liquefaction steps.

Lower Post-capture Processing Burden

The process reduces separate desorption and liquefaction steps, helping lower energy use and simplify the route from capture to carbonate production.

TECHNOLOGY 03
