KC8 Capture Technologies is currently developing the most sustainable, cost effective, solvent-based carbon capture process available today. Our cutting-edge solution aims to revolutionise the way hard to abate industries address climate change by capturing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes.
In 2022, KC8 received a substantial grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to fund Phase 2 of the UNOGAS project. This crucial phase aims to demonstrate the commercial viability of the UNO MK3 technology by applying it to real-world gas combustion exhaust.
The detailed design for the UNOGAS process package is now complete, and procurement is well underway.

What’s Expected of UNOGAS in 2025
2025 is anticipated to be a pivotal year for KC8 and the UNO MK3 technology. Here’s an overview of key milestones expected to be achieved:
- Installation at the National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC) is expected to be completed by March 2025
- Commissioning will be completed by May, ready for a six-to-nine-month test program through 2025. The pilot plant will undergo rigorous testing to validate the technology’s performance, efficiency, and scalability.
The Power of UNO MK3 Technology
KC8’s UNO MK3 technology offers several advantages over traditional carbon capture methods:
- High Efficiency: The technology utilises a high-concentration potassium carbonate-based solvent to efficiently capture CO2.
- Catalytic Enhancement: The solvent is catalytically enhanced to improve its performance and reduce energy consumption.
- Scalability: The technology can be easily scaled up to accommodate large-scale industrial applications.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: The UNO MK3 process has a lower environmental footprint compared to other carbon capture technologies.
As we move forward, KC8 remains committed to driving innovation and accelerating the deployment of clean energy solutions. By leveraging the power of the UNO MK3 technology, we can work together to build a more sustainable future.
