Chart Industries and CarbonCure Technologies Announce Agreement for Carbon Dioxide Storage and Transport Equipment

ATLANTA, Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chart Industries, Inc. (“Chart”) (NYSE: GTLS), and CarbonCure Technologies, Inc. (“CarbonCure”) today announced an agreement to further advance collaboration on equipment for the storage and transport of liquid carbon dioxide, in addition to the utilization of Sustainable Energy Solutions’ (“SES”), a division of Chart Industries, Cryogenic Carbon Capture™ technology for deployment at concrete facilities globally.

With this agreement, the two companies will support opportunities for the use of Chart’s cryogenic CO₂ microbulk storage tanks to support CarbonCure’s suite of carbon removal technologies for the concrete industry. Additionally, Chart’s cryogenic trailers may be used to transport liquid CO₂ to the concrete plants of CarbonCure’s concrete producer partners. During the concrete manufacturing process, CarbonCure systems inject captured carbon dioxide into fresh concrete, reclaimed plant water and recycled concrete aggregate where the CO₂ immediately mineralizes and becomes permanently embedded. The CO₂ will never return to the atmosphere even if the concrete is later demolished.

“We are excited to continue our work with CarbonCure and their cutting-edge solutions to transform the concrete industry by reducing the sector’s carbon footprint without sacrificing performance,” said Jill Evanko, President and CEO of Chart Industries. “This agreement formalizes the collaboration that began years ago as we supported CarbonCure in its successful XPRIZE campaign and we look forward to continuing to work with CarbonCure’s talented team.”

“Chart and Sustainable Energy Solutions’ first-class technologies and equipment are vital to the continued growth of the carbon removal, utilization and storage sector,” said Rob Niven, Chair and CEO of CarbonCure Technologies. “We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Chart to increase our impact and expand CO₂ access for our concrete producer partners.”
