Welcome to Carbon Sense Solutions
Carbon Sense Solutions provides Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technological solutions and consulting services to assist in the global effort to limit climate change.
We deliver a range of technical consulting services to private sector and government clients for the deployment of CCS projects or launch of new CCS services and products.
We offer clients with the best available strategic advice for the delivery of their CCS projects from concept to implementation. Our expert technical and policy reputation is backed by experience in technology research and development, involvement in international climate change policy and successful industrial project management.
Our CO2 Accelerated Concrete Curing technology, currently undergoing industrial trials, incorporates a custom CCS solution for the global concrete sector, which not only reduces CO2 emissions but improves concrete mechanical properties and production costs.
We understand that today’s climate change initiatives, particularly CCS projects, often demand a multidisciplinary approach. As such, Carbon Sense Solutions has developed partnerships with some of the leading firms to handle the largest and most demanding projects.
