C-Questra and RepAir Deepen European Alliance to Provide Comprehensive Capture and Retention Systems for Businesses Across the Continent
In a significant move towards carbon management, deep-tech company RepAir Carbon and mission-driven climate mitigation start-up C-Questra B.V. have expanded their partnership across Europe, focusing on France, the United Kingdom, and Poland.
RepAir Carbon, known for its breakthrough electrochemical carbon capture technology, claims that its technology can efficiently capture CO2 from diluted industrial sources up to 5% concentration. This technology consumes 70% less energy than conventional methods, making it cost-effective for capturing diluted CO2 sources where existing technologies face energy penalties.
The proprietary all-electric system of RepAir Carbon reduces energy consumption by 70% compared to conventional methods, eliminating the need for heat, liquids, or solvents. This technology enables scalable pathways to negative emissions, a crucial step towards combating climate change.
C-Questra B.V., headquartered in Amsterdam, develops modular, phased onshore CO2 storage hubs in Europe. Their aim is to provide sovereign, affordable storage capacity to decarbonize European industry while safeguarding jobs and competitiveness.
The collaboration addresses a gigaton-scale opportunity for industries such as aluminium smelters and gas turbine power generation. RepAir Carbon's technology provides flexible, cost-effective solutions for hard-to-abate industries such as aluminium smelting and gas turbine operations.
Gas turbine power generation, critical for the AI boom and data center expansion, can capture 85-90% of emissions with RepAir's technology. Aluminium smelters, which account for approximately 300 million tonnes of CO2 globally, can target process emissions at ~1% CO2 concentration with this technology.
The companies will develop pilot projects integrating RepAir's modular capture systems with C-Questra's future permanent sequestration sites in France, the UK, and Poland. This partnership provides industrial emitters with a bankable pathway to compliance under EU ETS, CBAM, and NZIA frameworks.
Amir Shiner, CEO of RepAir Carbon, states that their partnership with C-Questra aims to provide European industries with affordable and sovereign access to CO2 storage. Walid Sinno, CEO of C-Questra, echoes this sentiment, stating that the partnership aims to deliver a complete net-zero solution with reduced infrastructure requirements, shortening timelines, and reinforcing the EU's sovereignty in carbon management.
The partnership also aims to target the industrial sectors of manufacturing, energy production, and heavy industry in France, the United Kingdom, and Poland to facilitate cost-efficient CO2 storage and reduce industrial emissions by up to 90%. Combined with C-Questra's phased onshore storage hubs, the partnership creates one of the first end-to-end, capture-to-permanent-storage offerings for European emitters.
This strategic partnership is a significant step towards a more sustainable future for Europe's industries, offering cost-effective and efficient solutions for carbon capture and storage.
