Carbon Clean
50Mixed / Improving· ProvisionalUK point-source carbon capture company providing modular CCS equipment and proprietary solvents to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries such as cement, steel, and waste-to-energy.
Why it's on ClimateTicker
Carbon Clean sells proprietary point-source CCS equipment and solvents to genuinely hard-to-abate industries (cement, steel, fertilisers, waste-to-energy) where electrification alternatives are limited, giving it a plausible mitigation thesis. However, partnerships with Chevron and ADNOC-linked entities, a cumulative capture figure of only ~2.8 million tonnes against gigatonne marketing claims, and the absence of publicly verifiable SBTi targets or CDP disclosure mean investors should treat impact claims with caution. The core technology is real and commercially validated at small scale, but the gap between current throughput and stated ambition is wide.

Controversy & Greenwashing Watch
Carbon Clean's marquee commercial relationships include Chevron New Energies and ADNOC-linked Fertiglobe, raising the question of whether CycloneCC deployments serve genuine industrial decarbonisation or provide a greenwashing shield for fossil fuel operators.source ↗
Carbon Clean markets a vision of 'gigatonne-scale' industrial decarbonisation while its own disclosed cumulative capture figure stands at approximately 2.8 million tonnes across all sites and years — a gap of roughly three orders of magnitude that is not explained in public communications.source ↗
Despite operating for over 15 years and raising $150 million in funding, Carbon Clean has not published a CDP response or SBTi-validated targets, meaning investors cannot independently verify its own operational emissions or net climate benefit claims.source ↗
