About Terraco Earth
The problem we're solving:
Current carbon capture technologies, including solvent-based absorption and traditional MOF adsorption, are plagued by high capital and operational expenditures (CAPEX & OPEX), energy-intensive processes, and prolonged cycle times.Our solution:
Terraco Earth offers an innovative solution through its advanced CO₂ capture system, which leverages scalable and sustainable MOF technology. This proprietary technology boasts several advantages, including a 25% lower investment in both CAPEX and OPEX, and a process that is 50% more energy-efficient.Our differentiator:
Terraco Earth stands out due to its proprietary MOF technology, which includes an exclusive patent for CO₂ capture under ambient conditions, along with confidential knowledge in MOF formulation and manufacturing design. This technological advantage translates into superior performance metrics compared to competitors like amine-based absorption and other MOF adsorption technologies.Our biggest achievement:
Terraco Earth's most significant achievement lies in the successful development and patenting of its cost-effective, energy-efficient, and rapid Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) technology for CO₂ capture. This has led to the establishment of a pilot plant in Tuas, Singapore, which is expected to begin commissioning in May 2025, capable of removing 1 ton of CO₂ daily.Disclaimer:
