Core Concept

Core Concept
Carbon Recycling Technology (CRT) is a carbon-recycling power technology in which captured CO₂ is continuously reused, with renewable hydrogen providing the energy input. Carbon acts as a recyclable carrier rather than a waste stream. Fossil fuels such as LNG are required only for start-up and commissioning.

Strategic Positioning

Rather than presenting CRT as a conventional power plant with carbon capture and methanation, it can be positioned as a carbon-recycling energy system. The focus shifts from carbon disposal to carbon circulation.

Key Message

• Carbon is recycled rather than emitted.
• Renewable hydrogen supplies the energy.
• CO₂ is continuously captured, converted, reused, and recaptured.
• LNG is used only as a start-up fuel.
• The concept is applicable across multiple industrial sectors.

Applications

The same CRT architecture can be applied to:
• Data centres and trigeneration systems
• Industrial facilities
• Utility-scale power generation
• Steel production
• Marine transport
• Aviation fuel production
• Other carbon-recycling energy systems

Differentiation from CCS

Traditional CCS follows the sequence: Capture → Compress → Store.

CRT follows the sequence: Capture → Recycle → Fuel → Energy → Capture Again.

The objective is not permanent storage of carbon but its repeated reuse within an industrial cycle.

Patent and Technology Narrative

The deeper scientific basis of CRT is that the carbon atom functions as a reusable carrier. The molecular form may change between CO₂, CO, CH₄, methanol, SAF, e-gasoline, or other carbon-containing products, but the carbon remains in circulation while renewable hydrogen provides the energy required to sustain the cycle.

Commercial Vision

CRT can be deployed as a modular platform integrating carbon capture, fuel synthesis, power generation, heat recovery, and industrial energy applications. The same core concept can be scaled from small pilots to large commercial installations.
