Carbon Capture
Supporting emissions reduction from decentralised energy systems including pre-combustion carbon capture from biogas upgrading facilities and post combustion carbon capture from gas engines.
What is Decentralised Carbon Capture?
Sustainability Benefits of CCUS
Carbon Utilisation
Recovered CO₂ can be reused in agriculture, beverages, food manufacture, fuels, or materials.
Supporting Net-Zero
Helps reduce direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) emissions in hard-to-decarbonise sectors.
Renewable Gas Integration
Enhances efficiency and lifecycle emissions savings when paired with biogas or hydrogen systems.

Applications for Reuse
CO₂ Capture from Gas Engines
Jenbacher engines produce high-temperature, low-particulate exhaust that makes them ideal for post-combustion CO₂ capture using chemical solvents or membranes.
CO₂ Recovery from Biogas Upgrading
During biomethane production, CO₂ is separated from methane. It can be captured and purified for use in food and drink, agriculture, or fuel production.
Compression, Liquefaction and Transport
Clarke Energy provides system integration for CO₂ compression, liquefaction, road transport, and pipeline delivery to storage or industrial sites.
Applications for Reuse
Captured CO₂ can be reused in greenhouses, beverage carbonation, fuel synthesis, or in the production of construction materials like concrete additives.

Frequently Asked Questions about Carbon Capture
Technical and Engineering
What is carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS)?
CCUS is a process that captures carbon dioxide emissions from industrial or energy processes, allowing the CO₂ to be reused or permanently stored to reduce atmospheric emissions.
Can CO₂ be captured directly from gas engine exhaust?
Yes – Clarke Energy’s gas engines produce high-temperature exhaust suitable for post-combustion CO₂ capture using solvent or membrane technologies.
How is CO₂ recovered during biogas upgrading?
In biogas upgrading, CO₂ is separated from methane and can be captured, purified, and compressed for reuse in industrial or agricultural applications.
What carbon capture systems can be used for decentralised energy?
In decentralised energy systems such as gas engines and biogas upgrading facilities, a range of systems can be used to enrich or recover CO2 including catalysts, amine-wash, membranes and advanced mineralisation technologies.
Financial and Commercial
Can captured CO₂ be sold or used to generate revenue?
Yes – reclaimed CO₂ can be sold for use in greenhouses, food and beverage carbonation, or as a feedstock in synthetic fuel or material production.
Is there funding available for carbon capture deployment in the UK, US and Europe?
Yes – Carbon capture may be eligible for various national, US and EU decarbonisation schemes, grants, and carbon credit programmes depending on the sector and project type.
What is the return on investment for carbon capture in industrial facilities?
ROI depends on capture volume, reuse potential, regulatory incentives, and energy integration. Sites with heat or gas recovery benefit from stronger economics.
Environmental and Sustainability
How does carbon capture contribute to achieving net-zero targets?
Depending upon the end use of the carbon dioxide, carbon capture can reduces Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by capturing CO₂ from power or industrial processes for reuse or sale to other industries, supporting regulatory compliance and ESG reporting.
Can carbon capture be used alongside renewable fuels like biogas or hydrogen?
Yes – Carbon capture enhances circularity and carbon savings when integrated with renewable gas projects, reducing lifecycle emissions even further, depending upon the end use of the carbon, can net reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What sustainability benefits does CO₂ reuse offer over permanent storage?
CO₂ reuse supports circular economy strategies by turning emissions into feedstocks for fuels, fertilisers, carbonation, or building materials.
Operational and Implementation
What industries commonly implement decentralised carbon capture solutions?
Carbon capture is used in power generation, biogas upgrading, cement, food and beverage, chemicals, and agriculture (greenhouses).
What infrastructure is required to store or transport captured CO₂?
Infrastructure may include compressors, pipelines, liquefaction units, and storage tanks depending on scale and reuse destination.
What support does Clarke Energy provide for carbon capture integration?
Clarke Energy delivers full EPC support for decentralised carbon capture projects, including design, permitting support, integration, commissioning and lifecycle maintenance.
