Renewable Energy Production
Carbon Capture Technology, Inc.
In June 2008, CSMG acquired Carbon Capture Technologies Inc. which
owns a worldwide exclusive license to a composition and method for
use of a novel Carbon Dioxide (CO2) adsorbent. Researchers at the
University of Ottawa developed recyclable CO2 adsorbents based on
surface modified nanoporous silicas. The materials show fast and
reversible high adsorption capacity, allowing it to be reused repeatedly
in a high throughput periodic cyclic adsorption process.
The adsorbents can be used in both wet and dry environments, potentially
eliminating significant engineering challenges. The potential uses
for the technology include capturing the bulk of C02 emissions from
coal-fired power plants in order that these greenhouse gasses could
be sequestered and thus reduce the carbon footprint of such facilities,
as well as surgical and mine rescue applications.
CSMG was incorporated in 1992 and is headquartered in Corpus Christi,
Texas.
