As global temperatures continue to shatter records, the clarion call to combat climate change has never been more urgent. Our planet's health is in jeopardy, and with each passing year, the window for meaningful action narrows. Traditional methods of carbon capture, particularly those relying on amine-based chemical processes, have marked a significant step forward in our environmental efforts. Yet, as we delve deeper into the battle against carbon emissions, the limitations of these methods have come into sharp focus. High energy requirements, scalability challenges, and environmental impacts beg the question: Is there an alternative method for carbon capture?

Enter Tree, where innovation meets sustainability.

Understanding Carbon Capture: Beyond the Chemicals

Chemical Methods

Chemical carbon capture, like an Amine based system, has been a step forward in our environmental endeavours. Yet, this method is not without its drawbacks. High energy consumption for CO2 separation and the need for substantial infrastructure pose challenges to scalability and environmental impact. Additionally, the handling and disposal of chemical solvents necessitate careful consideration to avoid secondary environmental consequences. These challenges underscore the need for innovative approaches that can complement and potentially replace chemical methods.

A Primer on Physical vs. Chemical Capture

Amine-Based Carbon Capture Explained

Amine-based carbon capture is a chemical process widely used to remove CO2 from exhaust gases. In this method, exhaust gases are passed through a solution containing amines – compounds derived from ammonia – which chemically bind to CO2 molecules. The solution is then heated in a regenerator, releasing the captured CO2 in pure form so it can be compressed and stored. While effective, this process is energy-intensive, requiring significant heat to break the chemical bonds between amines and CO2, and has scalability and environmental concerns related to amine disposal and the energy source for heating.

Tree's Physical Carbon Capture: A Streamlined Approach

Contrastingly, Tree's physical carbon capture process offers an innovative alternative that bypasses the need for chemical reactions, significantly reducing energy consumption and minimising environmental impact. Here's how it works:

1. Compression and Cooling: The exhaust gas containing CO2 is first compressed, increasing its pressure, and then cooled to lower its temperature. This step is crucial as it prepares the CO2 for phase change.

2. Phase Change to Liquid: Under the conditions of increased pressure and reduced temperature, CO2 undergoes a phase change to become a liquid. This physical change allows CO2 to be separated from the exhaust gas without the need for chemical reactions, avoiding the energy penalties associated with heating and chemical regeneration.

3. Separation and Drainage: Once CO2 is in its liquid state, it can be easily separated and drained away from the rest of the exhaust gases. This separation is efficient and clean, resulting in pure liquid CO2 that can be stored or utilised and exhaust gases that are free of CO2 and can be safely returned to the atmosphere.

4. Efficiency and Scalability: This process is not only more energy-efficient but also highly scalable, making it suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries. The physical capture of CO2 as a liquid opens up new possibilities for carbon management, from sequestration to utilisation in various forms.

By leveraging the physical properties of CO2 under controlled conditions of pressure and temperature, Tree's technology streamlines the carbon capture process. This approach not only simplifies the capture and storage of CO2 but also transforms it into a resource that can be used in an array of applications, supporting a circular economy and driving forward our mission for a sustainable future.
