Heat Storage

CCm's heat recovery and storage units store thermal energy within a chemical reaction, much like a battery and releases it rapidly as the chemical reaction starts. The technology highlights include:

• 1.98GJ (551kWh) of thermal energy per tonne of carbon dioxide - and importantly, like batteries, the storage density of our materials is high at 200kWh/m³
• System can be recharged with either heat or electrical energy.
• Heat from produced at 125°C but re-charged using much lower temperatures, generally around 50°C to 80°C utilising a lower grade source and over a longer period of time

Plastics

CCm Technologies’ methods of capturing and utilising carbon dioxide can be used by industry to replace traditional expensive process inputs with cost effective alternatives.

CCm Technologies has developed a fibre which absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide. The CO₂ becomes permanently fixed to the fibre surface and the resultant coated fibres can be incorporated into a wide range of plastics, including polypropylene, polythenes and polyamide.

Power Generation

CCm Technologies has developed a heat engine that uses CO₂ as the working fluid. The patented technology uses a unique thermodynamic cycle that turns waste heat into useable electrical energy. This innovation saves vast amounts of carbon emissions and increases the viability of processes that produce waste heat.
