CS Tech said the system is very energy efficient and its compact size makes it ideal for implementation in the Asia region. The captured CO2 is sourced from a dedicated biochar production facility where CS Tech converts wooden pallets into biochar. CO2 emissions produced during biochar production are captured and incorporated into concrete blocks through CS Tech's proprietary injection system.
The reduced carbon emissions during the production of low-carbon intensity construction materials through CCUS technology can be accurately calculated. CS Tech is closely collaborating with the Hong Kong Carbon Trading Centre (HKCTC) to actively engage in the development of methodologies for carbon credit certification. Construction materials with low-carbon intensity can create added value through carbon credits.
To drive local research and development in carbon reduction, CS Tech had the privilege of hosting the Waste Management and Recycling Association of Singapore (WMRAS) in Hong Kong to showcase their CCUS system. Dr. Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment of Singapore, along with representatives of Singapore's sustainability experts, visited CS Tech's Research & Development Centre in Tuen Mun, to explore future trends in carbon management and work together towards achieving net-zero emissions.
