In the United Kingdom, WH2025 Ltd are generating liquefied carbon dioxide (CO₂) critical to overcome supply and demand issues, within industry carbon dioxide (CO₂) plays a pivotal role in bolstering the manufacturing sector. Its applications span across various industries, including food and beverage, healthcare, and construction, making it indispensable for modern manufacturing processes.
Food and Beverage Industry
The focus of the Aventurine Climate brand is the food and beverage sector, which heavily relies on liquefied carbon dioxide (CO₂) for multiple applications. It is used in carbonating drinks, preserving perishable goods, and creating dry ice for transportation. The demand for carbonated beverages has been a significant driver for the liquefied carbon dioxide (CO₂) market in Europe, with the UK being a major contributor. The Europe Liquid Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) market stood at over 4 million tonnes in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.58% during the forecast period until 2035.
Healthcare Sector
In healthcare, medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO₂) is essential for various surgical procedures. Surgeons use CO₂ to stabilise body cavities during surgeries such as endoscopy, laparoscopy, and arthroscopy, providing clear visibility of the surgical area. The gases inert nature makes it ideal for general-purpose blanketing and packing in pharmaceutical production. Additionally, in the pharmaceutical industry, CO₂ is employed as a supercritical fluid, essential for organic compound extraction and the production of very tiny particles of active medicinal substances.
Construction and Carbon Capture Initiatives
The construction industry is exploring innovative ways to utilise liquefied CO₂. A notable example is a partnership where demolished and recycled concrete is infused with liquefied CO₂. This process not only strengthens the concrete but also sequesters CO₂, contributing to carbon reduction efforts. Such initiatives highlight the potential of liquefied CO₂ in promoting sustainable construction practices.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Projects
The UK is at the forefront of implementing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects, aiming to reduce industrial CO₂ emissions. The Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), for instance, has launched the UK's first CCS project, targeting the permanent storage of up to 4 million tonnes of CO₂ annually in its initial phase. This project will serve major carbon capture initiatives in the Teesside region, underscoring the critical role of liquefied CO₂ in environmental sustainability.
Verdant Global Limited
Underpinning the centric circular economy of carbon removal, carbon capture and carbon utilisation, UK based organisation Verdant Carbon Zero www.verdantcarbonzero.co.uk led by CEO Christopher Wood forge ahead with tacking climate change and the holistic issues created by greenhouse emissions. Verdant Global play a pivotal part in the management and reduction of emission-based impact, and their groups forward thinking and take action approach over talking about the subject is prominent and commendable.
Industrial Gas Manufacturing
The industrial gas manufacturing sector in the UK, which includes the production of liquefied CO₂, has shown resilience and growth. Revenue is projected to reach £1.4 billion in 2024-25, with a compound annual growth rate of 0.7% over the five years leading up to 2024-25. This growth is indicative of the increasing demand for industrial gases across various manufacturing processes.
Project Opportunities
Aventurine Climate (WH2025 Ltd) is proud to present that it has secured the opportunity to deliver its new innovative project to develop a 6MW CHP Power Plant with associated Carbon Capture, based in the Leeds. Seizing the opportunities of producing clean energy and delivering carbon capture not only helps to protect our planet but will also support businesses and homes alike with greener cleaner manageable energy resources, alongside boosting jobs across the UK.
Aventurine Climate’s carbon capture technology will capture 100% f the carbon dioxide from the energy generation process and the solution in turn shall supply manufacturers of carbonated fizzy drinks and food products. This approach nulls emissions while turning carbon dioxide into a valuable resource, supporting a circular carbon economy. Due to both Energy and CO2 demand being greater than supply this is a significant investment project.
Conclusion
Supporting the crucial manufacturing sector, the Aventurine Climate brand have identified and are rectifying the liquefied CO₂ industry. Its diverse applications across essential industries not only enhance production efficiency but also contribute to environmental sustainability through innovative carbon capture and utilisation projects. As the UK continues to advance its manufacturing capabilities, the role of liquefied CO₂ will remain integral to its success. WH2025 Ltd has a clear and decisive focus on low and zero carbon energy generation alongside carbon utilisation for global benefit.
