District Heating

District heating CO₂ capture near homes and schools must be efficient, quiet and safe. With Galloxol® CCU, you turn stack CO₂ into a clean, metered stream you can pipe to local users, liquefy for trucks, or send to storage, lowering reported emissions while creating new revenue.

For network operators

CO₂ capture for District Heating networks

District-heating networks sit close to homes, schools and businesses. Any capture system must be efficient, quiet and safe, while helping utilities meet emissions targets and maintain affordable heat. A Galloxol® capture line converts stack CO₂ into a clean product stream that you can pipe to local buyers, liquefy for regional distribution, or send to permanent storage. This turns decarbonisation from a cost into a predictable business line.

The business case (investment signals)

  • Abatement with revenue: Reduce reported emissions and sell CO₂ locally or store it to earn carbon credits, depending on policy and infrastructure.
  • Community-grade safety: Non-hazardous, biocompatible solvent with zero vapour pressure, designed for urban sites near residents.
  • Predictable OPEX: Heat-integrated regeneration, low-pressure operation and no solvent vapour losses help keep costs stable.
  • Short logistics chains: Local outlets reduce tanker kilometres and the embedded footprint of delivered CO₂.
  • Modular growth: Scale capture from pilots to multi-thousand kg/h with standardised skids and limited outage windows.

Plant specifics (what to plan for)

  • CO₂ outlets: Pipeline to local users, liquefaction for trucks, and/or permanent storage. We design the split, metering and QA per outlet.
  • Quality: ≥99% purity with very low moisture supports a wide range of local users and simplifies downstream QA.
  • Siting: Compact skids, noise-attenuated enclosures, clear access and lifting plans for urban plots.
  • Utilities: Tie-ins for 95 °C or 140 °C heat, cooling and electrical power. Choice of LOW-temp or HIGH-temp depends on your network and tariffs.

Operational challenge → CCU solution

Heat demand, power markets and emission goals do not always align. Galloxol® CCU captures CO₂ whenever the plant operates efficiently, buffers short variations, and delivers steady flows to your chosen outlets. You maintain heat service, lower reported emissions, and add a new revenue stream from the same primary energy.

Our CCU options (LOW-temp & HIGH-temp)

  • HIGH-temp CCU (≈140 °C): maximises energy and capture efficiency through deeper heat integration.
  • LOW-temp CCU (≈95 °C): prioritises use of available low-grade or renewable heat in the network, with simple integration and high uptime.

Galloxol® vs amines (why it fits cities)

  • Non-hazardous, biocompatible solvent: suitable for sites near residents; avoids the permitting and handling burden typical of amines.
  • Zero vapour pressure: no solvent carry-over to atmosphere or product CO₂, which simplifies safety cases and neighbourhood acceptance.
  • Lower OPEX risk: no vapour losses, reduced corrosion concerns, strong heat-integration for steady operating cost.

Spec band (typical)

  • Capacity: 500 to 5 000 kg CO₂/h per train (modular)
  • Product CO₂: ≥99% purity, very low moisture
  • Solvent: Galloxol® (biodegradable, zero vapour pressure)
  • Thermal concept: high-efficiency regeneration with heat recovery
  • Track record: multiple deployments; performance guarantees available

Typical setups

  • Urban hub with local buyers: Capture on the main stack, pipe CO₂ to nearby users, liquefy surplus for regional customers.
  • Capture-to-storage: Deliver a share to permanent storage to monetise credits while selling the remainder to local industry.

From idea to final delivery

Our complete process at a glance

This visual guide walks you through each phase, showing how we turn concepts into results.

99% product CO₂ purity

Yield impact

Up to 99% product CO₂ purity

We engineer the product stream to ≥99% CO₂ with very low moisture, protecting downstream equipment and meeting the QA needs of local users (pipeline, liquefaction, or storage). Because Galloxol® has zero vapour pressure, there’s no solvent carry-over into the CO₂, supporting use near residential areas and food-adjacent applications.

Inline purity/moisture instrumentation provides timestamped, audit-ready reports per outlet, keeping compliance and contracts straightforward.

Benefits

Benefits of Galloxol® in District Heating

These benefits translate the technology into day-to-day gains, lower energy per tonne, fewer stoppages, stronger QA, and options to monetise surplus CO₂.

Benefit tabs

Lower reported emissions

Converting stack CO₂ into a metered product stream turns abatement into hard numbers. You move from estimated factors to measured tonnes with continuous mass balance across capture, routing and losses.

Automated summaries feed compliance and ESG reporting on a fixed cadence, so year-on-year reductions are traceable, comparable and audit-ready without manual spreadsheet work.

We include MRV-ready mass balance (stack → capture → outlets → losses) with calibrated meters and auto-generated reports, so ESG teams can file scope-1 reductions without manual spreadsheets. Where cities require verification, the data pack (QA, timestamps, totals) supports third-party audits and annual assurance with minimal extra work.

New income stream

Captured CO₂ becomes a sellable product: pipe to nearby users for steady offtake, liquefy surplus for regional customers, or allocate a share to permanent storage where credit schemes exist.

Commercially, clear custody transfer points and pricing per outlet let you diversify revenue beyond heat sales and hedge against seasonal demand swings.

We help model an outlet mix (local pipeline, liquid sales, storage credits) against regional price indices and logistics so revenue is diversified, not single-buyer dependent. Buffers are sized to smooth sales cadence (daily/weekly draws), and contracts can be backed by per-batch QA certificates for consistent pricing and fewer disputes.

Community-grade safety

Galloxol® is non-hazardous and has zero vapour pressure, so there’s no solvent carry-over to air or to the CO₂ product, well suited to dense, residential locations.

Engineering controls, acoustic enclosures, silencers, containment and leak detection, are designed in from the start to meet local standards and smooth the permitting and neighbourhood-acceptance path.

Galloxol®’s zero vapour pressure means no solvent emissions under normal operation; secondary containment, controlled drains and gas-tight enclosures further reduce environmental risk. A site-specific HAZOP/LOPA and ERP tie into your utility’s procedures, while acoustic treatments and screened layouts keep neighbourhood impact low.

Predictable OPEX

Heat-integrated regeneration and low-pressure operation keep energy use steady, so cost per tonne is forecastable across seasons and tariffs. There are no solvent vapour losses to chase.

Choose HIGH-temp (~140 °C) when maximum capture and energy efficiency matter most, or LOW-temp (~95 °C) to reuse available low-grade heat and limit exposure to electricity price volatility.

Energy is dominated by regeneration heat and compression work; both are stabilised with heat integration and sensible pressure ratios. Choose HIGH-temp (≈140 °C) when you prioritise capture efficiency; choose LOW-temp (≈95 °C) to reuse available network heat and hedge power-price volatility, keeping €/t steady across seasons.

Modular capacity, minimal disruption

Capacity grows with standardised skids that slot into planned tie-ins, so expansions are short-outage projects rather than major rebuilds. Day-one training and SOPs remain valid as throughput rises.

Shared spares, common HMIs and unchanged alarm classes keep maintenance simple and lifecycle cost low, protecting the operating discipline you’ve already established.

We plan tie-ins, lifting routes and clearances during the first install so additional trains drop in with short outages and no major civil rework. Standardised HMI, alarm classes and SOPs mean no retraining cycle as capacity scales from pilot to multi-thousand kg CO₂/h, spares and documentation stay common.

Flexible outlets with clean accounting

Split flows across pipeline, liquefaction or storage and track each with calibrated meters, purity/moisture QA and timestamps for custody transfer.

That dataset supports contracts, invoicing and credit issuance without extra admin, each tonne is traceable from stack to outlet, keeping regulators, auditors and buyers aligned.

Each outlet (pipeline / liquid / storage) gets its own custody-grade metering, QA sampling and timestamped batch logs, so billing and carbon-credit claims are traceable and defensible. An API or export to your billing/ESG tools keeps finance and sustainability teams aligned without duplicate data entry.

All frequently asked questions

Yes. Galloxol® uses a non-hazardous, biocompatible solvent with zero vapour pressure, so there is no solvent carry-over into the product CO₂ or the surrounding air. That property eliminates the fugitive-emission concern you’d have with volatile chemistries and simplifies the safety case for urban sites.

For siting in residential areas, the package includes acoustic enclosures, silencers, and clear access/lifting plans. We place equipment to minimise line-of-sight noise and visual impact (e.g., behind existing buildings or screens) and design secondary containment and drain management to meet local environmental expectations. A HAZOP/LOPA (site-dependent) and startup procedures are provided to align with your utility’s safety management system.

Not necessarily. Many producers start by piping CO₂ to nearby users and add a liquefier once volumes justify the CAPEX. We design tie-ins and control points up front so a liquefier drops in later with a short outage and without reworking the capture controls.

When you add liquefaction, we scale tankage to your shipping cadence and install custody-grade metering and batch QA. That staged approach lets you prove €/t and uptime first, then expand into regional sales at lower risk.

Where a recognised framework and storage partner exist, routing a portion of captured CO₂ to permanent storage can earn credits. To support claims, we provide metered splits (pipeline / liquid / storage), mass-balance reporting, and QA logs (purity, moisture, timestamps) as part of an MRV-ready data pack.

Practically, we work with your team to define the baseline, the fraction stored, and any chain-of-custody documentation the registry requires. That way, sales to local industry and storage for credits can run in parallel without complicating day-to-day operations.

The system is delivered as modular skids with compact footprints suitable for urban plots. We plan equipment placement, walkways, and craning routes up front so installation and future maintenance are straightforward. Enclosures and acoustic treatments are selected to meet your local noise limits, and we position intakes/outlets to reduce propagation toward sensitive receptors.

If the site prefers a clean street view, we can package major components in low-profile housings or behind existing structures. The layout includes service clearances, drain/utility tie-ins, and screening to satisfy both engineering and neighbourhood expectations.

OPEX is driven mainly by regeneration heat and compression work. With heat-integration and sensible compressor ratios, specific energy per tonne is predictable. Where low-grade heat is available (CHP/district heating), the LOW-temp configuration further reduces exposure to electricity price swings.

Maintenance focuses on filters, pumps/compressors and instrumentation. The solvent has no vapour losses, so there’s no continuous top-up for evaporation. We provide planned-maintenance intervals, a critical-spares list and remote monitoring hooks so your team can manage the plant inside normal shift routines.
