C-Capture

UK-based C-Capture produces materials that are used in carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications including absorbents and solvents. The company claims that its patented carbon capture technology consumes 40% less energy compared with other commercially available technologies. The technology employs new types of capture solvents that are amine and nitrogen-free, cost-effective, and safe. Additionally, the solvents used in the process can be produced on a large scale using biological sources.

In December 2023, C-Capture started Europe’s first carbon capture trial in the falt glass industry at Pilkington UK's manufacturing plant. 

Funding and financials

C-Capture’s most recent funding round was in February 2021, when it raised GBP 8 million (USD 11 million) in venture funding led by IP Group, Drax, and BP Ventures. The proceeds were allocated to optimize the company’s carbon capture technology and drive down costs. Previously, in November 2020, C-Capture received an undisclosed amount of funding from Innovate UK to explore its carbon capture technology’s compatibility in decarbonizing the glass manufacturing industry.
