decarbonising our planet

WHO ARE WE
Kapture is an Australian company that will provide CO2 emitters a simple and cost-effective solution to decarbonise diesel generators.
THE BACKGROUND
Over the last century, diesel generators have become a required piece of equipment for off-grid power in many industries including construction, mining, film production and healthcare. Although gas and diesel generators are touted as the most reliable and durable source of portable power, diesel generators solely rely on fossil fuels.

THE “GOOD” NEWS

The “good” news is that about 140 countries —accounting for 91 percent of greenhouse gas emissions— have already proposed or set net-zero targets for around mid-century.

THE BAD NEWS

The bad news is that net-zero rhetoric does not match reality. Actually getting to net zero by 2050 means most countries need to do even more to strengthen their targets for cutting emissions—particularly large economies. For all of these countries, there is no way to meet these commitments without cutting emissions from diesel generators.

OUR VISION
DECARBONISING 83M DIESEL GENERATORS WORLDWIDE
Kapture has developed user-friendly, low-cost technology that captures CO² emissions from diesel generators before they are emitted into the atmosphere. The filter can be retrofitted to any diesel generator, small or large, and the by-product can be discarded directly in soil.
CARBON NEGATIVE DIESEL GENERATORS
When Kapture technology is used with biofuels, diesel generators become carbon negative. That means the more we use diesel generators, the more CO² we take out of the air. It is simple: plants suck CO² out of the air as they grow, and usually, they decompose and release that captured CO² back into the air. Instead, if we burn those plants as biofuel inside a diesel generator, capture that CO² from the diesel generators exhaust with our technology, and put that CO² back in soil, we’ve created a pathway directly from the air into permanent sequestration. This approach to removing CO² from the atmosphere is cheaper than other approaches to direct air capture, and it uses diesel generators and biofuels — no direct air capture or bioenergy-fueled power plants are needed.
