Our aim at KC8 Capture Technologies is to make carbon capture an affordable and sustainable solution for a greener global future. We aim to achieve this through commercialising our carbon capture technology, UNO MK3.
What is UNO MK3?
UNO MK3 is a revolutionary advancement in carbon capture technology that aims to make a significant impact on global efforts to reduce carbon emissions, particularly within hard to abate industries. This innovative solution is an evolution of the well-established inorganic solvent absorption process, delivering superior environmental and economic benefits compared to traditional methods.
A Cleaner, More Cost-Effective Carbon Capture Solution
The UNO MK3 process is designed to be more environmentally friendly and up to 50% more cost-effective than the widely used amine processes in current carbon capture applications. This impressive cost reduction is achieved without sacrificing efficiency, making it a game-changer for industries looking to lower their carbon footprint without breaking the bank.
At the heart of our technology is the use of potassium carbonate (K2CO3), a benign solvent. Unlike the chemicals used in conventional processes, potassium carbonate is safe, posing minimal health and safety risks while capturing not just CO2, but also pollutants such as SOx (sulfur oxides) and NOx (nitrogen oxides). This multi-pollutant capture capability further enhances the environmental benefits of the UNO MK3, making it a holistic solution for industries striving to reduce their emissions.
Efficiency Meets Sustainability
The UNO MK3 process offers remarkable efficiency in capturing CO2 at low pressure, and demonstrates high tolerance for oxygen—key advantages for large-scale industrial applications. Its ability to integrate into the fertiliser production chain also opens up opportunities for creating value-added products, making it not just a tool for emission reduction but also a contributor to sustainable industrial practices.
Future-Proofing Global Decarbonisation
With its low cost, minimal energy for regeneration, and the capture of multiple impurities, UNO MK3 is set to transform the carbon capture landscape. By offering a safer, more sustainable, and economically viable solution, KC8 Capture Technologies is working to be at the forefront of global decarbonisation efforts, helping industries worldwide meet their emissions reduction targets. Our aim is to provide a pathway to emission reduction to industries that would otherwise struggle to make significant emission reduction
We believe our UNO MK3 technology stands as a critical innovation in the fight against climate change, paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future for generations to come.
