Veolia is trialing the UK's first amine-free carbon capture system at its Sheffield Energy Recovery Facility, which processes waste to generate power. Developed by the University of Leeds and commercialised by C-Capture, this new solvent technology promises greater energy efficiency and lower chemical degradation, capturing up to one tonne of CO₂ daily in an initial two-year trial.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You now have evidence that scalable amine-free carbon capture can reduce operational costs and energy use in waste-to-energy plants. Invest in partnerships or pilots with non-amine systems to position ahead of tightening emissions policies.
