Carbon capture plants consume enormous amounts of energy while producing valuable waste heat. We integrate electricity and heating market signals to dynamically adjust capture intensity, reducing costs, emissions, and risk exposure.
Carbon capture plants can source energy from the grid and deliver waste heat to district heating networks. These markets are volatile and interconnected, yet often ignored in the optimization equation of the Carbon Capture operations and thus missing out on savings.
Capture consumes up to a quarter of a plant's energy output. Without active management, this uncontrolled cost exposure directly erodes project margins.
Intraday electricity swings have grown ninefold across European markets. Static operations absorb every price spike, creating unnecessary costs and avoidable risk.
Simulations show up to 10% OPEX reduction through dynamic operations alone, with zero additional capital investment. This value is being left on the table.
The EU targets 50 Mt CO₂/year by 2030. Without viable project economics, this target remains aspirational. Every project needs better cost management.
SmartCapture exploits the volatility of electricity and heating markets by dynamically adjusting capture intensity around price peaks at 15-minute intervals. Instead of absorbing market swings passively, your plant actively navigates them, turning price volatility from a cost risk into an operational advantage. The result: lower OPEX, reduced risk, and a stronger business case for your carbon capture project.
Reduce capture intensity during expensive market intervals and ramp up when energy is cheap. Savings come from shaving the cost peaks, not changing what you capture overall.
Carbon capture generates waste heat that feeds district heating networks. We align capture intensity with district heating demand, so your waste heat reaches the network when it needs it the most.
Our AI engine positions capture intensity for each market interval within the operational boundaries of your equipment, running continuously across electricity and heating markets.
A structured engagement from initial assessment through to measurable OPEX savings on live operations.
Rapid assessment of your capture setup, energy profile, and connected markets.
Full operational and financial modeling with quantified savings against static baselines.
SmartCapture deployed on your pilot or plant to validate optimization under real conditions.
Continuous 15-minute optimization with transparent performance reporting.
Capital-intensive capture retrofits on kilns need strong economics. Dynamic energy management makes these projects investment-ready.
WtE facilities produce both captured CO₂ and waste heat. Dynamic operations balance power costs against district heating revenue.
BECCS delivers carbon-negative outcomes. Aligning capture intensity with market conditions strengthens the business case.
We work with emitters, equipment providers, and project developers across Europe.
