Purpose<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Developed jointly with Occam\u2019s Technologies where I serve as Acting CFO, this white paper introduces the company\u2019s Direct Oxyfire Carbon Capture (DOCC) system. The paper was created to communicate DOCC\u2019s potential to engine operators, investors, and regulators, and to invite participation in feasibility studies.<\/p>\n

Executive Summary<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Internal combustion engine (ICE) emissions present a huge challenge to the global effort to reduce greenhouse gases. Although society has paid some attention to industrial emitters, power generation, and transportation electrification, millions of stationary and mobile internal combustion engines used across all industries emit over 1.5 gigatons of CO2<\/sub> per year without practical decarbonization options.<\/p>\n

Direct Oxyfire Carbon Capture (DOCC), a patent-pending process developed by Occam\u2019s Technologies Inc., offers a breakthrough approach to this problem. DOCC is a low-cost, modular technology that combines oxyfire combustion, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and cryogenic liquefaction to enable over 90% total CO2 <\/sub>capture without the use of chemical scrubbing.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional carbon capture systems that rely on chemical solvents, DOCC produces a high CO2 <\/sub>concentration exhaust stream ideal for purification via CO2<\/sub> liquefaction. This allows for pipeline quality CO2 <\/sub>with no post-treatment, dramatically reducing capture costs and system size. DOCC is the most economically competitive choice for small-scale capture, with levelized capture costs between CAD 56 and CAD 178 per ton.<\/p>\n

Occam\u2019s is working towards a 10 ton-per-day pilot in partnership with Precision Drilling and with funding from Natural Resources Canada. Designed for deployment at scale, DOCC is eligible for major incentive programs including capital investment tax credits, Canada\u2019s Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS) and the U.S. Section 45Q tax credits. Its engine (and fuel) agnostic design enables rapid deployment across regions and sectors\u2014turning carbon emitting liabilities into assets that improve owner economics. <\/span><\/p>\n

Target markets include diesel and natural gas engine owners in sectors where grid-electrification is unlikely in the near term. DOCC is attracting attention from engine operators, regulators, granting agencies, and investors who recognize the urgent need for decarbonization solutions for their existing internal combustion engines. Occam\u2019s is seeking FEED studies and pilot demonstrations for companies interested in decarbonizing their ICEs, today.<\/p>\n
