Paired with technologies from our other brands like Nash vacuum pumps, our portfolio of blower and vacuum technologies can meet the demands for any unique carbon capture system requirement. Paired with more than 100 years of engineering expertise, our products are an ideal choice for industrial carbon capture systems.

CO2 Capture and Transport 

CO2 can be captured directly from large emission sources like power plants or ethanol plants. Carbon is removed using post-combustion, pre-combustion, or oxyfuel combustion techniques. Once the CO2 is removed, it will require transport to appropriate CO2 storage locations or different industrial plants to be utilized in other processes.

Carbon Utilization or Usage 

Captured CO2 can be used to manufacture fuels and building materials, and aid in the production of other products like concrete or plastics.

Sequestration or Storage 

Carbon sequestration is the process of safely storing CO2 after it has been captured. Used carbon can be transported to designated underground collection areas for permanent storage or other industrial facilities until it is ready to be used.

Hoffman™ and Lamson™ CO2 blower technologies can be used to aid the capture and transportation of used carbon within a carbon capture system. Industrial blowers are commonly installed to draw the “scrubbed” CO2 from the facility, boost the pressure, and then feed the gas through a heat exchanger so it can be cooled, and additional condensate can be removed. **

The Carbon Capture Industry is expanding rapidly as we aim for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Carbon capture and sequestration is a crucial strategy in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to mitigate climate change. Although the process of carbon capture is not new, with current plants in operation already capturing 40 million metric tons of CO2 per year, the recent prioritization of project funding, tax credits, and carbon capture legislation worldwide has boosted the viability of developing large-scale carbon removal processes in industrial facilities.

The Inflation Reduction Act was passed by the United States Senate in August 2022 and grants a significant tax credit for the carbon capture industry - increasing the subsidy from $50 to $85 per metric ton. According to IEA, there are 35 commercial facilities applying CCUS to industrial processes today, but with the recent momentum, there are plans for over 200 new carbon capture facilities to be operating by 2030.

In 2021, 102 CCS facilities were in the advanced and early stages of development. Combined with facilities already under construction or in operation, these facilities could capture up to 149.3 million metric tons of CO2 per year. (Source: RFF)
