What Captimise does
Captimise AB is a Stockholm-based specialist consultancy serving industrial CO2 emitters across Europe and North America. Founded in 2017 and formerly known as BluCarbon Solutions, the firm positions itself as 100% technology-independent from CCS equipment suppliers, providing unbiased advisory on capture technology selection, demonstration testing, and CO2 logistics. Its customer base spans power plants, combined heat and power (CHP) plants, waste-to-energy facilities, cement plants, oil refineries, and pulp and paper mills — with a notable concentration of named clients among Swedish municipal and district energy utilities such as Stockholm Exergi, Göteborgs Energi, MälarEnergi, Jämtkraft, and Växjö Energi.
The company delivers three core services: a Capture Technology Screening Study that uses a proprietary database to compare multiple capture technologies (Amines, Chilled Ammonia, Hot Potassium Carbonate, Oxyfuel) on heat and mass balance, ACCE class 4–5 cost estimates, and weighted KPIs; The Captimiser, a mobile demonstration unit (two 20ft containers) enabling proof-of-concept testing of capture solvents at customer host plants; and a Logistic Study covering CO2 liquefaction, buffer storage, transport (land-based and shipping), and permanent storage or utilization. Senior engineers have completed 40+ pre-feasibility studies and constructed 6 CCS demonstration plants in Europe and the US, supporting engineering work for full-scale capture plants up to 1 Mton/year.
Captimise operates as a small (1–10 employees) professional services firm with custom project pricing, multi-year contracts, and a direct enterprise field sales motion. Revenue is generated entirely through bespoke consulting engagements rather than software subscriptions or product sales. The firm has no external venture or growth capital beyond a nominal Sting certification grant, suggesting the business is largely self-funded and operates near cash-flow break-even.

Captimise product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Captimise provides technology-independent Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) advisory services to large industrial CO2 emitters. Its core offerings are the Capture Technology Screening Study (benchmarking Amine, Chilled Ammonia, HPC, and Oxyfuel technologies via a proprietary database), The Captimiser mobile demonstration unit for proof-of-concept solvent testing, and Logistic Studies covering liquefaction, buffer storage, transportation, and permanent storage/CO2 utilization. All services span the full CCS value chain from capture through storage or utilization.
Product overview
Captimise is a specialist consultancy offering technology-independent carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions. The company provides three core services: the Capture Technology Screening Study (using a proprietary database to compare capture technologies and recommend the most cost-efficient solution), The Captimiser Demonstration Unit (a proof-of-concept pilot for testing solvents like Amine, Chilled Ammonia, and Hot Potassium Carbonate), and the Logistic Study (covering CO2 liquefaction, storage, transportation, and permanent storage or utilization). These services span the full CCS value chain from initial capture technology selection through demonstration and logistics planning.

Products and services
- Capture Technology Screening Study A technology-neutral study that benchmarks carbon capture technologies (Amines, Chilled Ammonia, Hot Potassium Carbonate, Oxyfuel) using Captimise's proprietary database of system data, costs and energy requirements. Delivered to industrial CO2 emitters to identify the most suitable and cost-efficient capture solution for specific plant conditions, with heat and mass balance calculations, ACCE class 4-5 cost estimates, and weighted KPI comparisons.
- The Captimiser (Demonstration Unit) A mobile proof-of-concept demonstration unit (two 20ft containers) that Captimise delivers, installs, commissions and operates at customer host plants to demonstrate carbon capture using different solvents (Amine, Chilled Ammonia, Hot Potassium Carbonate). The unit supports test campaigns investigating degradation rates, solvent blends, catalysts and accelerators, capture rates, absorption/desorption rates, and operational issues (foaming, clogging, deposits) before customers commit to full-scale deployment.
- Logistic Study A comprehensive study covering the CO2 value chain from capture to final destination, including site specifications, liquefaction, buffer storage, loading terminals, land-based logistics, shipping routes, and offshore permanent storage options. Includes cost estimates and optimization recommendations for transporting and storing captured CO2 at industrial scale.

Captimise competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Tetra Tech: Environmental and energy engineering consultancy providing CCS feasibility, permitting and advisory services to industrial emitters. Comparable in service mix though operating primarily in North America.
- SLR Consulting: Environmental and energy advisory firm with CCS and decarbonization offerings for industrial clients. Comparable independent-advisor positioning to Captimise, with broader geographic reach.
- WSP: Engineering consultancy with Nordic and global CCS advisory offerings, including feasibility studies and energy-transition consulting. Comparable to Captimise in scope of independent advisory work, with broader service portfolio.
- Worley: Global engineering and advisory firm with a sizable energy-transition and CCS advisory practice. Comparable to Captimise as a multi-vendor CCS consultant serving industrial emitters, though operating at vastly greater scale and breadth.
- ICF International: Energy and climate consultancy providing CCS feasibility, policy and techno-economic advisory. Comparable to Captimise in technology-selection and cost-modeling work, with deeper policy and market-analysis capabilities.
- Wood Group: Engineering consultancy with established CCS and decarbonization advisory services for power, refining and industrial clients. Overlaps with Captimise's screening and FEED-style engagements but with a much larger global footprint.
- Ramboll: Nordic-headquartered engineering consultancy with active CCS and decarbonization advisory practices serving Scandinavian emitters. Closely comparable geography and customer overlap with Captimise's Swedish utility base.
Broad incumbents
- Aker Carbon Capture: Capture technology vendor offering proprietary amine-based CCS systems plus advisory and FEED services. Comparable in the CCS advisory space but vertically integrated with a specific technology, contrasting Captimise's technology-independent stance.
- Honeywell UOP: Large process-technology licensor offering amine-based CCS solutions and related engineering services for refining and petrochemical clients. Overlaps with Captimise's refinery and process-industry screening work but as a technology vendor.
- Carbon Clean: Modular carbon capture technology provider that increasingly bundles advisory and project services. Comparable to Captimise at the feasibility and engineering layer but competing with a proprietary capture solution.
