Carbon Clean Solution, Veolia partner for large-scale CO₂ capture, industrial re-use

Veolia, the global leader for optimized resource management, announced the signing of a new partnership agreement with Carbon Clean Solutions Limited (CCSL), a global leader in low-cost carbon capture technology, for the large-scale rollout of CCSL’s patented carbon dioxide (CO₂) separation technology.

CCSL recently announced the commissioning of its flagship project in Tamil Nadu, India, where a coal-fired power plant has become the site of the first industrial installation to re-use all its CO₂ emissions. The project will ensure 60,000 mt of CO₂ are captured each year and then converted into soda ash, a chemical compound that is commonly used in glassmaking.

Privately financed, the site captures all the CO₂ at a cost of $30 per metric ton, half the cost of existing technology.

“This partnership is a fantastic illustration of Veolia’s Open Innovation strategy to partner with the most promising industries to stay one step ahead with solutions and technology,” says Laurent Auguste, Executive Vice President Innovation & Markets at Veolia. “With CCSL, we will mitigate CO₂ emissions and enhance the prospects for the circular economy around carbon capture and its use by industry. It demonstrates Veolia’s commitment to co-create solutions to fight climate change.”

CEO of CCSL, Aniruddha Sharma adds: “The partnership with Veolia will further boost our mission to help companies lower their carbon footprint in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. Our cutting-edge technology and Veolia’s extensive service offering in water, energy and waste represents an ideal alliance.”
