One electrified platform, two applications.
Hyperion is a fully electrified solvent-based technology. The same core process captures CO₂ from industrial flue gas and upgrades raw biogas to grid-quality biomethane — engineered, piloted, and delivered as complete plants rather than a solvent alone.
Post-combustion CO₂ capture
Post-combustion capture removes CO₂ from flue gas after combustion, so it can be applied to existing emitters without redesigning the plant behind it. Hyperion targets hard-to-abate, point-source emitters.
Why Hyperion
Fully electrified
The process runs on electricity and can operate in hybrid mode where waste heat is available. It needs no dedicated CHP unit, avoiding fossil-fuel dependency and the extra CO₂ that comes with it.
A better solvent
The Hyperion solvent is less toxic and more user-friendly than conventional amines, degrades less over time, and offers higher CO₂ capacity. Formulations are tuned to each gas input.
Lower energy demand
Overall process energy is reduced, with solvent regeneration at 100–110 °C versus roughly 120 °C for conventional amines.
Smaller footprint, lower CAPEX
A more compact plant means a smaller site footprint and lower capital cost.
High capture rates
Capture rates above 98% are achievable, with high-purity CO₂ product suitable for utilisation or storage.

Biogas upgrading
The same electrified process, extended to upgrade biogas to grid-quality biomethane.
Hyperion-Bio upgrades biogas into grid-quality biomethane for homes, industry, and transport, while capturing the biogenic CO₂ for geological storage or use. Because that CO₂ is biogenic, storing it removes carbon from the atmosphere — turning organic waste into renewable energy and negative emissions.
- Renewable biomethane
- Bio-CCS carbon removal
- Negative emissions
- Climate neutrality
Unlocking biomethane's potential — a high-efficiency, low-energy process with near-zero methane slip.
Why Hyperion-Bio
Higher-purity biomethane
Delivers biomethane at greater than 97.5% CH₄ purity.
Very low methane slip
Methane slip below 0.06% — around two orders of magnitude lower than membranes and PSA.
Robust to contaminants
High tolerance to common biogas contaminants and process upsets, such as oil-droplet carryover.
Carbon-credit revenue
When the captured CO₂ is stored, its biogenic origin makes it a negative emission — an additional revenue stream from carbon credits.
Reduced energy and CAPEX
Improved process economics unlocking biomethane potential.
Open solvents, when the site calls for it.
Hyperion isn't the only path. Where a project is better served by an established open solvent, we design and deliver capture plants on MEA, CESAR1, or aMDEA — with the same modelling, piloting, and engineering depth we bring to our own technology. The right solvent is always site-specific.
- Waste-heat availability
- Chemical preferences
- Site and regulatory constraints
We deliver plants, not just a solvent.
Every stage — from the first model to a commissioned plant — sits under one roof, so the technology is de-risked before it scales.
