Six ways we are taking carbon out of the atmosphere

Geothermal power, supercritical

Supercritical geothermal systems are very high-temperature systems located at depths near or below the brittle-ductile transition zone in the crust, where the reservoir fluid is in a supercritical state. For pure water that means temperatures above 374 °C and pressures above 221 bar.

Engine Carbon Clear is actively engaged in projects around the world, including South America, where we aim to establish supercritical geothermal systems that will produce incredible amounts of green energy, with the drilling expertise of our petroleum-engineering team applied to heat instead of hydrocarbons.

Algae and kelp biofuels

Biofuels have a reputation for being environmentally friendly and the fuel of the future. Unfortunately that is not always true. Engine Carbon Clear is developing algae and kelp biofuel projects that are genuinely environmentally friendly and could profoundly change the aviation and maritime industries.

Algae covers both single-celled microalgae and macroalgae such as kelp. Though algal biofuels are a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, there is still room to improve how the algae itself is produced, which is exactly where our research is focused.

Engine Carbon Clear has arranged the licence of a state-of-the-art macro-algae facility in Central America.

Green hydrogen production

Hydrogen is a universal, light and highly reactive fuel. It is produced through electrolysis, a chemical process that uses an electrical current to separate hydrogen from oxygen in water. When that electricity comes from renewable sources, the resulting energy emits no carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Engine Carbon Clear has arranged two licences and projects in Central America for green hydrogen production.
