Carbon Recycling Technology (CRT)

Carbon Recycling Technology (CRT) A Cross-Sector Energy Architecture for Continuous, Defossilised Industry 1. The Core Insight Modern industry does not suffer from a lack of energy—it suffers from a lack of continuous, controllable, and integrated energy systems. Current solutions: • Renewables → variable • Fossil fuels → reliable but carbon-intensive • Hydrogen → flexible but supply-constrained The missing link is system architecture. 2. What is CRT? Carbon Recycling Technology (CRT) is a proprietary energy system architecture that: • Converts renewable electricity into hydrogen (energy input) • Combines hydrogen with captured CO₂ to produce renewable methane (RNG) • Uses RNG as a stable, dispatchable energy carrier • Recaptures CO₂ and reintroduces it into the cycle Creating a closed carbon loop powered by renewable energy. 3. Why CRT is Different CRT is not a unit process. It is a system-level integration of proven technologies: • Power generation (GTCC or equivalent) • Hydrogen production (electrolysis) • Syngas generation (SMR or alternative) • Methanation (CO₂ + H₂ → CH₄) The innovation lies in how these elements are integrated. 4. From Process to Architecture Conventional Approach: • Single industry solution • Linear energy use • Intermittent renewables • Fuel dependency CRT Approach: • Cross-industry platform • Closed-loop carbon cycle • Continuous energy supply • Energy independence 5. Cross-Industry Applicability • Steel (DRI): Continuous reduction gas + heat • Aluminium: Baseload electricity + thermal stability • Chemicals: Electrochemical energy integration • Desalination: Energy–water coupling • Glass & high-temperature industries: Continuous thermal energy 6. Strategic Value • Energy Security: Reduced reliance on imported fuels • System Stability: Firm, dispatchable renewable energy • Decarbonisation: Reduced fossil dependency • Industrial Competitiveness: 24/7 energy supply 7. Role of Industry Partners CRT operates as a modular ecosystem: • Technology vendors supply individual process units • CEWT provides system architecture and integration 8. Why It Matters Now As renewable penetration increases: • Grid instability rises • Industrial energy gaps widen • Fossil backup persists CRT addresses this by enabling reliable, renewable, closed-loop energy systems. 9. CEWT’s Position • Originator and system architect of CRT • Focused on utility and industrial-scale deployment • Advancing a 135 MW flagship project in Western Australia CRT is not a new fuel. It is a new way of organising energy.
