Aventurine Climate launches the Leeds Project and is proud to announce the launch of the Leeds Energy + Carbon Capture Utilisation Project, an innovative development integrating Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technology with Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU). This project is designed to deliver zero-carbon, dispatchable energy directly to the grid while capturing and repurposing CO₂, turning emissions into valuable industrial resources. By doing so, we are setting new standards for sustainability, energy security, and economic growth.
How Aventurine Climate's CHP Works and Its Benefits
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is an advanced system that simultaneously generates electricity and captures the heat that would otherwise be wasted in traditional power generation. This recovered heat is then used for industrial applications, heating, or to drive processes like Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU).
The CHP process begins with the combustion of fuel such as natural gas, biomass, or hydrogen within a generator to produce electricity. Instead of letting the heat generated during this process dissipate as waste, CHP systems capture it and repurpose it to serve additional energy needs. This process is especially valuable in sectors requiring both electricity and heat, such as manufacturing, district heating, and now, carbon capture.
The key benefits of CHP include:
Higher Efficiency – CHP systems achieve efficiency levels of up to 80%, far surpassing conventional power stations that often operate at around 40% efficiency.
Lower Carbon Emissions – By maximising energy use, CHP significantly reduces the need for additional fuel consumption, leading to lower CO₂ emissions.
Energy Security – CHP provides a stable, dispatchable power source that is less reliant on fluctuating renewable outputs, ensuring grid stability.
Cost Savings – By making better use of available energy, businesses can reduce operational costs while minimising waste.
Scalability – CHP can be deployed in large-scale industrial settings or adapted for smaller commercial applications, making it a versatile energy solution.
The Leeds project leverages CHP to create a self-sustaining system where the heat output enhances the effectiveness of carbon capture, making it a fully optimised process.
Aventurine Climate Launches the Leeds Project: How CCU Works and Why It’s an Innovation for Leeds
Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) is a revolutionary approach to reducing carbon emissions by capturing CO₂ at the point of generation and repurposing it into valuable industrial products. Instead of being released into the atmosphere, CO₂ is collected, purified, and converted into marketable commodities.
The process involves:
Capturing CO₂ – CO₂ is extracted from CHP exhaust gases using advanced filtration and absorption techniques.
Liquefying the CO₂ – The captured CO₂ is cooled and pressurised into a liquid form for easier storage and transport.
Repurposing for Industry – The liquefied CO₂ is then supplied to industries requiring high-purity CO₂, such as food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.
What makes this facility a standout innovation for Leeds is its ability to transform waste CO₂ into a valuable resource that serves multiple sectors. Traditional power plants emit CO₂ without repurposing it, contributing to climate change. However, our facility not only captures these emissions but monetises them, reducing environmental impact while supporting industrial needs.
Verdant Carbon Zero – Expert Carbon Consultants
A key element of our success in Carbon Capture Utilisation (CCU) is our partnership with Verdant Carbon Zero, a leading consultancy specialising in carbon solutions. With their expertise, we are implementing cutting-edge methodologies to optimise CO₂ capture, storage, and utilisation. Led by Christopher Wood, Verdant Carbon Zero ensures that every stage of the carbon process aligns with industry best practices and sustainability targets. Their extensive experience in carbon markets and emissions reduction makes them a crucial partner in delivering a truly effective and scalable CCU solution.
This approach places Leeds at the forefront of low-carbon industrial innovation, showcasing how energy generation and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
Community Benefits and Secure Energy
Energy infrastructure plays a vital role in shaping communities, driving economic growth, and securing a sustainable future. Aventurine Climate’s new facility in Leeds is demonstrating how clean energy innovation can deliver real benefits for both people and businesses.
By integrating Carbon Capture Utilisation (CCU) and Combined Heat and Power (CHP), this site is delivering carbon-neutral, locally generated energy while actively improving the surrounding area.
What This Means for Leeds
✅ Cleaner Air & Healthier Communities – Capturing CO₂ significantly reduces emissions, improving air quality for residents and businesses.
✅ Lower Energy Costs – CHP provides efficient, stable energy, making power and heat more affordable.
✅ Local Job Creation – Supporting employment in construction, engineering, and the green energy sector.
✅ Energy Security – Reducing reliance on external energy markets by producing stable, local power.
✅ Boosting Local Business – Providing industries with cost-effective, sustainable energy to help them grow.
✅ A Circular Economy – Repurposing captured CO₂ for industrial use, reducing waste and environmental impact.
Why This Matters
Cleaner power means healthier communities, lower costs, and stronger local economies. Aventurine Climate’s investment in CCU and CHP is setting a new standard for how energy projects can deliver real, lasting benefits to communities.
By focusing on energy security, affordability, and sustainability, this facility is making Leeds a leader in clean, efficient, and community-focused energy solutions.
