Carbon America’s FrostCC™ Technology Demonstrates Ultraclean Carbon Capture

The cryogenic carbon capture technology achieved 1,000 hours of carbon capture while proving the ability to remove co-pollutants from flue gas.

ARVADA, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- #CCS--Carbon America’s novel cryogenic carbon capture technology, FrostCC™, has successfully completed 1,000 hours of testing at the National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC), a neutral research facility for third-party carbon capture developers, located in Wilsonville, Alabama. FrostCC™ is a cryogenic point-source carbon capture system which removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gas before it is released into the atmosphere.

FrostCC™ is a cryogenic point-source carbon capture system which removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gas before it is released into the atmosphere. It does this by cooling the flue gas below the sublimation temperature of CO2, causing it to "frost" as dry ice and physically separate from the gas mixture. This solid CO2 is periodically melted and collected as a liquid, making it ready for compression and transportation to storage sites. FrostCC™ does all of this without the use of water or chemicals and runs exclusively on electricity.

During its testing at NCCC, FrostCC™ successfully demonstrated its ability to capture carbon dioxide and co-pollutants from flue gas and further validated the process and models for design. The next step in development for FrostCC™ will be a demonstration of its full-scale commercial product. “The prospects of this breakthrough technology inspired Carbon America’s founding and we’re excited to see it realized. It has been inspiring to watch it go from a concept to an engineering-scale pilot that has achieved material results,” said Brent Lewis, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Carbon America....
