Facility-Focused Carbon Capture Initiatives

KEZO is running a collaborative industrial pilot project at its waste-to-energy plant in Switzerland, using a specific carbon capture technology, known as CATACARB® Hot Potassium Carbonate (HPC). This technology is being tested for its efficacy in isolating carbon dioxide from the plant's emissions, with a target capture rate of ninety percent. The carbon capture initiative at the waste-to-energy plant is a joint effort between the technology licensor CATACARB, the plant operator KEZO, and engineering firm Sulzer. Key objectives of the pilot include evaluating the system's operational stability, its energy consumption relative to other methods, and its overall safety and management protocols. The collected data is intended to guide future large-scale implementation decisions within the waste management sector. Gary Buckholz, CATACARB CEO, shared about the venture: "This project is a step in the right direction toward mitigating climate change, and we must do more. We take pride in contributing to this effort and look forward to our continued collaboration with KEZO and Sulzer."
