Revealing the world's first giant CO2 filtration plant
The giant plant is built to capture up to 10 million tonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to the emissions of 27 million cars.

Demand for carbon capture technology is growing rapidly. According to BloombergNEF, the global carbon capture and removal market could reach $100 billion by 2030. This growth is driven by stricter climate regulations, net-zero emissions targets, and increased investment in clean technology. Photo: @ Keele University. On the other hand, for many industries, especially heavy emitters like cement, steel, and oil refining, carbon capture is one of the few practical solutions to reduce emissions. However, these industries have few options for using renewable energy. So they need solutions that fit within their existing infrastructure. Photo: @MIT News. So recently, Svante Technologies Inc, the world leader in carbon capture and removal solutions, officially launched the world's first commercial-scale plant, specializing in producing filters to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) faster and more cost-effectively.

Located in Burnaby, British Columbia, the new plant will produce enough solid-state absorber modules to capture up to 10 million tons of CO2 per year. That’s equivalent to the emissions of 27 million gasoline-powered cars off the road. Photo: @ Hart Energy. The 13,099-square-meter facility marks a major step toward expanding carbon management solutions to hard-to-abate sectors such as cement, steel, and fossil fuels, as well as the pulp and paper, ethanol, and waste-to-energy industries.

These filter modules and their accompanying materials are known for their large surface area, extremely good and effective ability to trap gas molecules like CO2 from industrial emissions or even in the atmosphere.

This results in lower costs and fewer emissions when operating them.

With $145 million in funding from major investors including Chevron, Samsung, United Airlines Ventures and the Canada Growth Fund, Svante plans to replicate this manufacturing model globally over the next decade.
