Several technologies exist for capturing CO2, including membranes, sorbents, and chemical absorption. For big polluters in sectors like power generation and heavy industry, amine-based absorption remains one of the most mature and widely-deployed technologies.
Its effectiveness is proven, but its operational complexity and cost present the next great hurdle to widespread, economically viable adoption.
The Carbon Capture Landscape

The High Cost of Inefficiency
Amine carbon capture units, while effective, face significant operational challenges that drive up both capital (CAPEX) and operational (OPEX) costs. These include:
Overcoming these challenges is key to making carbon capture practical for big polluters. This requires moving from reactive maintenance to predictive, data-driven operations.
Our Solution: The Energy Metaverse in Action
Digital Twin & Simulation
Decrease CAPEX & OPEX with Simulation
Our high-fidelity Digital Twin is a versatile tool for the entire plant lifecycle. In the design phase, it allows virtual testing to validate amine selection and refine designs, drastically decreasing CAPEX. Once operational, the twin is used to continuously monitor plant performance, optimize energy use, and improve system reliability, significantly reducing OPEX.

Operator Training Simulators
Build Competency, Ensure Safety
Our Operator Training Simulators (OTS) create an immersive, risk-free training ground. We replicate your carbon capture unit's control interface and process dynamics, allowing your team to master everything from standard operating procedures to emergency shutdowns. This ensures your operators are prepared for any scenario, boosting safety and operational excellence from day one.

Extended Reality (XR)
Visualize Data in a New Dimension
Extended Reality (XR) bridges the gap between the digital and physical worlds. Using a tablet or headset, your engineers and operators can overlay real-time performance data, maintenance records, and operational alerts directly onto the physical equipment of the carbon capture unit. This intuitive approach accelerates troubleshooting and makes complex data instantly understandable in the field.

Q-GPT
Empower Your Team with AI
Q-GPT is your AI co-pilot, specifically trained on your carbon capture unit's data and deep process knowledge. Imagine your operators asking, "What's the optimal steam flow to minimize energy use right now?" or "Why did foaming increase in the last hour?". Q-GPT provides instant, actionable answers, guiding them through complex troubleshooting and optimization scenarios. It empowers your team on the ground to turn complex data into clear, confident decisions that enhance efficiency and safety.
