Unlocking point source Carbon Capture to decarbonize your future
About
Point Source Carbon Capture is a must
The world is facing a climate emergency. CO₂ emissions are still rising, hitting 38 billion tons annually. To reach net zero by 2050, we must act now.
Industrial Point source carbon capture is essential to reduce emissions at their source and combat climate change.
A non-addressed market
50% of the world’s CO₂ emissions come from industrial flue gases with low CO₂ concentrations:
- E(Bio) Gas-fired plants
- EPetrochemicals
- EGlass Production
- ESteel Production
Today, no viable solution is available to address these emissions.
Our breakthrough technology
ARK’s hybrid technology is the ONLY effective technology allowing low capture costs, even at low CO₂ concentrations in the flue gas.
And that’s not all!
Root cause
“It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land”
– IPCC
We need to take care of our planet!
… And that’s not all!
ARK outperforms conventional carbon capture solution with its unique low-cost, high impact technology.
Our full-electric technology offers record low energy consumption, a modular design, a smaller footprint and a fully autonomous operation, without chemistry or hazardous materials – redefining CO₂ capture at the source.
Our mission
Fight climate change by unlocking Carbon Capture technology.
How? By the massive supply of our technology to a currently non-addressed market representing 50% of global emissions.
We aim to prevent the release of CO₂ at industrial point source emissions, taking decisive action to protect our planet and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.
The Team
Our team is committed to tackle the biggest challenge of this century by developing equipment to eliminate industrial carbon dioxide emissions. We are driven to forge a cleaner and more sustainable future. The company combines 60+ years of expertise in clean industrial technologies (decarbonization technologies, energy management, light-weight polymers, recycling and green hydrogen).
