About Us
We make filters and machines that capture and remove CO2 from industrial emissions and the air. Our proven carbon capture technology is based on unique solid sorbents - and it’s scalable, eco-friendly, and commercially available today.
Our Unique Approach to Carbon Capture
Based on environmentally friendly solid sorbent technology, our carbon capture and removal solutions offer companies in heavy emitting, hard-to-decarbonize industries a commercially viable way to capture and remove CO2 emissions. The CO2 we capture is concentrated to pipeline grade purity, which can be safely transported and stored underground or used to make other products.
About Svante Carbon Capture & Removal Solutions
We’ve been around for over 15 years, and we’ve won awards. Our R&D is world-class and our people are experts, and passionate about at what they do. Here are a few more things that set us apart:
Environmentally Friendly??
Svante’s proprietary carbon capture and removal process is better for business and humankind. Our solid sorbents are made to be recycled and our plants don’t require toxic liquid chemicals.
Scalable, Modular Design?
Compact, modular design makes our technology repeatable, adaptable, and efficient on capital costs at all scales.??
Flexible Technology Applications??
Different solid sorbent materials can be applied to various diluted concentrations of CO2 in the air & in industrial flue gas – enabling a wide array of applications.?
Simplified Process??
Handles operational intermittence, start/stop, and load following with ease – no tall gas-liquid towers or complicated chemical plants required.?
Technology Backed by Science
Our work with solid sorbents and metal-organic frameworks (known as “MOFs”) has been well documented and proven in the world’s top science and engineering circles.
