Industrial CCUS Solutions
Carbelim delivers a next-generation Industrial CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage) framework engineered for the world’s most challenging emission sources.
Advanced Microalgae-Based Carbon Capture for Hard-to-Abate Sectors
Carbelim delivers a next-generation Industrial CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage) framework engineered for the world’s most challenging emission sources. Our proprietary microalgae photobioreactor systems transform industrial CO₂ streams ranging from flue gas, digester off-gas, fermentation CO₂, and decomposition emissions into valuable biomass, engineered biochar, and high-integrity CDR credits.
Designed for decarbonisation of biogas plants, food & beverage industries, glass and furnace operations, steel and cement facilities, wastewater plants, and organic waste systems, Carbelim’s CCUS platform provides scalable, low-energy, verifiable carbon removal that integrates seamlessly into existing industrial infrastructure. Our solution addresses the urgent need for practical, cost-effective decarbonisation pathways in sectors where traditional carbon capture approaches have proven economically prohibitive or technically infeasible.
Why Carbelim's Industrial CCUS Is Different
Unlike conventional CCS, which is expensive, chemical-intensive, and difficult to scale, Carbelim applies biological CO₂ fixation using advanced trained microalgae strains. Our approach fundamentally reimagines industrial carbon management by harnessing natural photosynthetic processes at industrial scale.
Low Energy Consumption
Significantly reduced operational costs compared to chemical absorption methods
High CO₂ Capture Efficiency
Superior fixation rates through optimised microalgae strains
Continuous Biomass Generation
Ongoing production of valuable by-products from captured carbon
Biochar-Based Long-Duration Storage
Engineered biochar provides 300–1,000+ years of verified carbon sequestration, meeting the most stringent permanence requirements for carbon removal credits.
Fully MRV-Enabled Credit Generation
Comprehensive Measurement, Reporting & Verification systems ensure audit-ready, high-integrity carbon credits that satisfy international standards.
Circular, Zero-Waste Integration
Every component of our process generates value from biomass production to biochar creation eliminating waste streams entirely.
Biogas CCUS - Turning Biogas CO₂ into Carbon Assets
Capture and Recycle CO₂ from Biogas Upgrading and Digesters
How It Works
- CO₂ from scrubbers and digesters is injected into Carbelim bioreactors
- Microalgae convert CO₂ into dense biomass through accelerated photosynthesis
- Biomass is processed into microalgae-enhanced engineered biochar
- Biochar ensures 300–1,000+ years of carbon storage
- Facilities generate BECCS-qualified carbon removal credits

Furnace CCUS — High-Temperature Flue-Gas Capture
CCUS for Glass, Ceramics, Metal Melting, Kilns & High-Temperature Industries
Furnace operations emit hot, CO₂-rich flue gas along with other pollutants. Carbelim uses a thermal conditioning unit to cool, clean, and route flue gas into algae bioreactors for biological capture. This approach addresses one of the most technically challenging emission profiles in industrial operations.
Reduced Furnace Emissions
Addresses emissions from the most carbon-intensive industrial heating processes
Minimal Operational Disruption
Operates alongside existing chimneys and exhaust systems with minimal downtime during installation
Revenue Generation
Creates a predictable carbon credit revenue line to offset decarbonisation investments
Continuous Operation
Flue-gas-intensive industries benefit from continuous CCUS matching their operational profiles
Steel & Cement — CCUS for Hard-to-Abate Emissions
Engineered CCUS for the World's Toughest Industrial Emitters
Steel and cement sectors are responsible for approximately 15% of global CO₂ emissions. These industries face unique decarbonisation challenges due to process emissions inherent to clinker production and iron reduction. Carbelim provides microalgae-based CCUS specifically tailored to handle high-volume, continuous CO₂ streams characteristic of these operations.
