Accelerating Industrial Decarbonization

Carbon Clean, an industrial carbon capture technology company, and Samsung E&A, an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company, announced an alliance to deliver modular, scalable carbon capture solutions for industries worldwide.

The partnership brings together Carbon Clean’s patented CycloneCC technology, a fully modular, columnless carbon capture system, with Samsung E&A’s EPC expertise and AHEAD execution model to deliver compact, pre-fabricated systems that can be deployed faster, at lower cost, and with minimal site disruption.

By integrating Carbon Clean’s amine-promoted buffer salt solvent (APBS-CDRMax) and Rotating Packed Bed (RPB) technologies with Samsung E&A’s proven project delivery capabilities, the alliance hopes to accelerate industrial decarbonization and make carbon capture more accessible to hard-to-abate sectors.

Samsung E&A’s AHEAD execution model shortens project timelines, enhances productivity through off-site construction, and reduces risk with early-stage design automation, ensuring faster delivery and reliable project outcomes.

The alliance further strengthens Carbon Clean’s and Samsung E&A’s existing relationship, having partnered on major projects with Aramco and MODEC earlier this year, demonstrating the strength and scalability of their combined expertise in delivering world-class carbon capture solutions globally.

“Our partnership with Samsung E&A marks a major milestone in scaling industrial carbon capture,” said Aniruddha Sharma, chair and chief executive officer (CEO) of Carbon Clean. “Samsung E&A’s extensive expertise in scaling up and commercialization, combined with their core EPC capabilities, will be invaluable as we work together to remove the traditional barriers of cost and complexity and make carbon capture as standard and repeatable as solar and wind deployment.”

“We are proud to partner with Carbon Clean to advance practical solutions for a sustainable future,” said Hong Namkoong, CEO of Samsung E&A. “By integrating their breakthrough modular technology with our EPC capabilities, we will accelerate the global rollout of carbon capture systems that are efficient, reliable, and ready for the energy transition.”

The CycloneCC C1 Series represents a step-change in carbon capture technology. According to Carbon Clean, the fully modular units are up to 50% smaller and 10 times more compact than traditional systems, with a 70% reduction in height and 35% less steel required. Each train is capable of capturing up to 110,231 tons (100,000 tonnes) of CO₂ per year, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial emitters with CO₂ concentrations between 3% to 20%.
