Carbon Clean, a global leader in cost-effective industrial carbon capture technology, and Samsung E&A, a world-class engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company, announced an innovative alliance on November 5, 2025, to deliver modular, scalable carbon capture solutions for industries worldwide.

The partnership combines Carbon Clean's patented CycloneCC technology, a fully modular, columnless carbon capture system, with Samsung E&A's deep EPC expertise and AHEAD execution model to deliver compact, pre-fabricated systems that can be deployed faster, at lower cost, and with minimal site disruption.

Technology Integration and Capabilities

The alliance integrates Carbon Clean's advanced amine-promoted buffer salt solvent (APBS-CDRMax) and Rotating Packed Bed (RPB) technologies with Samsung E&A's proven project delivery capabilities. This combination is designed to accelerate industrial decarbonization and make carbon capture more accessible to hard-to-abate sectors.

Samsung E&A's AHEAD execution model shortens project timelines, enhances productivity through off-site construction, and reduces risk with early-stage design automation, ensuring faster delivery and reliable project outcomes.

The CycloneCC C1 Series, the companies say, represents a step-change in carbon capture technology. The fully modular units are up to 50% smaller and 10 times more compact than traditional systems, with a 70% reduction in height and 35% less steel required. Each train is capable of capturing up to 100,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial emitters with CO2 concentrations between 3% to 20%.

Existing Partnership Foundation

The alliance builds on Carbon Clean's and Samsung E&A's existing relationship, which has partnered on major projects with Aramco and MODEC earlier in 2025. The companies cite this collaboration as demonstrating the strength and scalability of their combined expertise in delivering carbon capture solutions globally.

Executive Statements

Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean, stated: “Our partnership with Samsung E&A marks a major milestone in scaling industrial carbon capture. Samsung E&A's extensive expertise in scaling up and commercialization, combined with their core EPC capabilities, will be invaluable as we work together to remove the traditional barriers of cost and complexity and make carbon capture as standard and repeatable as solar and wind deployment.”

Hong Namkoong, CEO of Samsung E&A, said: “We are proud to partner with Carbon Clean to advance practical solutions for a sustainable future. By integrating their breakthrough modular technology with our EPC capabilities, we will accelerate the global rollout of carbon capture systems that are efficient, reliable, and ready for the energy transition.”
