What CARBON CLEAN LTD does

Carbon Clean Ltd (legally Carbon Clean Solutions Pvt. Ltd.) is a UK-headquartered, privately held industrial point-source carbon capture company founded in 2009. The company designs, builds, finances, and operates modular carbon capture systems for heavy industrial emitters, targeting sectors such as oil and gas, cement, steel, and engineering & construction. It sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales and strategic partnerships with global industrial majors, including Chevron New Energies, CEMEX Ventures, Samsung E&A, and Tata Steel.

Its core technology rests on proprietary solvent chemistry underpinning two product lines: CycloneCC Modular (a next-generation modular capture unit engineered for space-constrained industrial sites with minimal installation downtime) and CaptureX Semi-modular (a flexible semi-modular system with advanced heat integration). The portfolio is backed by more than 115 active patent assets across 20 patent families covering over 30 countries, and the company reports cumulative CO2 capture of 2.8 million tonnes since 2009 across 50+ sites globally.

Carbon Clean's business model combines capital equipment sales of modular capture systems with multi-year managed-service contracts for ongoing operations and optimisation of deployed plants. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to site-specific capture capacity and integration complexity, with multi-year contract cadences. The company is recognised on the Deloitte EMEA Technology Fast 500 for three consecutive years and was named among TIME and Statista's World's Top GreenTech Companies in 2026.

Core offering

Carbon Clean designs, builds, finances, and operates point source industrial carbon capture systems for heavy industry. Its portfolio includes the modular CycloneCC™ and semi-modular CaptureX™ capture units, supported by proprietary Carbon Solvents chemistry, delivering space-efficient, cost-effective CO2 capture with advanced heat integration.

Product overview

Carbon Clean operates as a point source carbon capture technology provider with two primary modular product lines: CycloneCC™ Modular and CaptureX™ Semi-modular. The company also offers proprietary carbon capture solvents as the foundational technology layer. The modular solutions (CycloneCC and CaptureX) are designed to address industrial decarbonisation challenges in space-constrained environments, while the solvents technology underpins the capture process. The portfolio spans fully modular to semi-modular configurations to serve different industrial deployment requirements.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions: ExxonMobil's Low Carbon Solutions business is developing large-scale CCUS hubs (e.g., Baytown, LaBarge) and is one of the largest industrial CCS developers globally. It is a broad incumbent and potential partner/competitor for Carbon Clean's heavy-industry customer base.
• Honeywell UOP: Honeywell UOP sells amine-based CCUS process technology (Selexol, Amine Guard, and related offerings) and licenses capture systems to industrial operators globally. It is a broad incumbent in industrial gas processing and a competitor to Carbon Clean's solvent-based capture technology.
• Shell CCSolutions: Shell's CCSolutions business develops large CCUS hubs (Northern Lights, Aramis) for European industrial emitters. It is a broad incumbent in industrial CCS, comparable to Carbon Clean in targeting hard-to-abate sectors but at a substantially larger scale.
• Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) - CCUS: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is one of the original licensors of large-scale amine-based post-combustion CO2 capture (KM CDR Process) and has supplied CCS systems globally, including utility-scale coal applications. It competes with Carbon Clean in the broader industrial CCUS technology market.

Emerging players

• Climeworks: Climeworks is a leading direct air capture (DAC) company with commercial Orca and Mammoth plants. While its capture architecture (DAC vs point source) differs from Carbon Clean's, both are flagship industrial CCUS players and compete for the same corporate offtake dollars and policy support.
• Charm Industrial: Charm Industrial captures biogenic CO2 from biomass conversion and sequesters it via underground injection, partnering with major emitters (incl. Microsoft). It uses a different removal pathway (biochar/sequestration) but competes for the same corporate carbon removal offtake and policy-driven demand as Carbon Clean.
• 1PointFive (Occidental / Carbon Engineering): 1PointFive is Occidental's DAC subsidiary, building on Carbon Engineering's liquid-solvent DAC technology (Stratos plant in Texas). It competes with Carbon Clean in the broader industrial carbon management space and for the same corporate decarbonisation budgets.

Others

• C-Quest Capital: C-Quest Capital is a carbon project developer and finance aggregator focused on nature-based and tech-based avoidance/removal projects. It is comparable to Carbon Clean as a fellow carbon project developer and intermediary, though primarily in nature-based rather than industrial CCS.

Direct peers

• Aker Carbon Capture: Aker Carbon Capture is a Norway-based provider of modular and semi-modular post-combustion carbon capture plants for heavy industry (cement, waste-to-energy, gas processing). It is the closest direct competitor to Carbon Clean's CycloneCC and CaptureX offerings in industrial point-source CCS.
• LanzaTech: LanzaTech uses gas-fermentation technology to convert industrial off-gases (including captured CO/CO2 streams from steel, refining, and chemical plants) into fuels and chemicals. It overlaps with Carbon Clean in serving heavy-industry decarbonisation customers and increasingly in carbon capture and utilisation pathways.
