CCSC – Cryogenic Carbon and Sulfur  Capture

Redefining How Industries Tackle Emissions.

 

CCSC - hero

Cryogenic Carbon and Sulfur Capture (CCSC) delivers breakthrough multi-pollutant control with over 98% CO₂ capture efficiency—proven in live power plant operations.

Why It Matters

Captures SO₂, NO₂, and particulate matter simultaneously
Demonstrated at Heavy Fuel Oil power plants with minimal infrastructure disruption
Modular-Easy Retrofit (30- 50% lower Capex/Opex than Amine capture)
Over 98% CO₂ capture efficiency

Designed for

Power generation
Heavy industry
Retrofit applications

CCSC Scale Up Milestones

Nov 19th 2024

The CCSC demonstration took place at the Power Plant in the presence of key stakeholders from the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), authorities from KAUST and the Ministry of Energy.

In Spring 2024

The KAUST Trailer rig was commissioned and tested at KAUST before being deployed at the Power Plant for our key stakeholders.

Dec 15th 2022

The mobile CCSC rig was unveiled by prominent industrial leaders from the SEC and the Ministry of Energy. At the same event, a contract was signed between the SEC and KAUST to develop and test carbon and sulfur co-capture.

2022

Design and start construction of KAUST Mobile CCSC System – 1/4 ton of CO2 per day.

CCSC Trailer Rig

The Cryogenic Carbon and Sulfur Co-capture (CCSC) trailer rig from KAUST is an innovative, mobile system designed to capture multiple pollutants—including high-purity CO₂ (99.9%), SO₂, NO₂, and particulate matter (PM)—using a single cryogenic technology. Developed for flexible deployment at Kingdom point source locations, the CCSC rig demonstrated its capabilities at the Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO)-fired Power Plant of our key stakeholder, with minimal impact on existing infrastructure and operations.
