Carbon Capture and storage
As decarbonization becomes a priority across sectors, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is gaining momentum as a proven method for reducing CO₂ emissions. From onboard systems in the maritime industry to large-scale land-based installations, CCS is helping drive the shift toward cleaner operations.
DESMI delivers pumping solutions that support every stage of the carbon capture process. Our expertise covers solvent handling, CO₂ compression, and storage - all backed by proven performance in both marine and industrial environments.
What is carbon capture and storage (CCS)?
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a process that reduces CO₂ emissions from power generation and industrial carbon capture facilities. It involves capturing carbon dioxide from flue gases, converting it into liquid form, and transporting it for underground storage. Some methods also target CO₂ from air or water, but these are less efficient.
CCS is widely regarded as an effective solution for lowering emissions in energy-intensive sectors. The International Energy Agency projects that CCS could capture 9.7 gigatonnes of CO₂ from power generation by 2040, while market studies highlight strong growth for global carbon capture technology companies in the years ahead.
End-to-end CCS flow solutions
The carbon capture and storage process consists of three main stages: capture and conversion, transportation, and injection into secure storage. Reliable pumps and flow systems are required to handle solvents, liquid CO₂, and balance-of-plant conditions that keep the process efficient and stable.
Applications range from industrial carbon capture in sectors such as steel, concrete, and energy production to broader maritime use, where onboard CCS reduces emissions at sea. To support this variety, systems are often designed as modular, skid-based, or containerized solutions that can be scaled and adapted for future requirements.
