Pi-CO₂, developed by Partnering in Innovation,Inc., introduces a fundamentally new approach to carbon capture, one that works with nature instead of against it. Using water, Earth’s universal solvent, andthe natural pressure gradient of deep-water columns, Pi-CO₂ captures CO₂ more efficiently, cleanly, and affordably than any existing method.
Pi-CO₂ replaces mechanical compression with hydro-compression, an ingenious process inspired by centuries-old hydraulic principles and re-engineered for modern carbon capture. By harnessing natural water pressure instead of brute mechanical force, Pi-CO₂ dramatically reduces both energy use and cost.
A validated prototype achieved 97% capture efficiency even under non-optimal conditions, proving the system’s stability and scalability at a fraction of the energy demand of conventional amine or cryogenic capture.
Pi-CO₂ uses water, Earth’s own solvent, and deep-water pressure to dissolve and separate CO₂. In a cascading, multi-stage design, bubbles rise and fall in counter-current flow, maximizing mass transfer and efficiency. The entire process runs on just three small circulation pumps.
Key advantages include:
Pi-CO₂ is engineered for diverse environments, from industrial plants to
offshore platforms.
Biogas, cement, steel, ammonia, hydrogen, and waste-to-energy plants
Platform gas turbines, compressors, and power generators
Ideal for Blue Hydrogen, geothermal systems, EOR, and carbonated water reservoirs
Developed by Partnering in Innovation, Inc., Pi-CO₂ brings together engineering excellence and international collaboration. R&D partners span Canada, France, Norway, and the USA, ensuring rigorous validation and world-class scientific credibility.
Funding is now underway for the next-stage field & commercial pilot project, and new joint industry partners are invited to participate.
