Capturing and recycling carbon dioxide from industrial waste streams

If we are to reach our net zero goals, we need to drastically reduce the emissions produced by the industrial sector. CCm Technologies' Chief Executive Officer, Pawel Kisielewski and Chief Technical Officer, Professor Peter Hammond explain how they capture carbon dioxide from industrial power generation to stabilise ammonia, phosphates, and other materials from agricultural and industrial waste streams. These outputs are then either stored, or used to create new fertiliser products for the agriculture industry, which is one of the world’s biggest emitters of greenhouse gases. Creating low-carbon fertilisers is a crucial step to reducing our emissions. 

One of the sectors taking advantage of CCm Technologies’ circular system is food manufacturing. Every year, 9.5 million tonnes of food waste is produced in the UK alone, which equates to roughly 25 million tonnes of CO2-eq emitted annually. PepsiCo are working with CCm to lower their carbon emissions by turning leftover potato peelings from the crisp-making process into low-carbon fertiliser, to be used across farms in the UK where potatoes for Walkers crisps are grown.
