CarbonFree
James Roberts is a Decarbonization Engineer at CarbonFree, responsible for managing a pilot plant while maintaining budgetary constraints and enhancing process efficiencies since April 2023. Prior experience includes serving as a Research Engineer at Southwest Research Institute, where tasks involved operating a CO2 capture pilot plant and conducting routine maintenance from October 2021 to April 2023. James was also an Application Sales Engineer during a Graduate Development Program at Messer Americas, providing technical sales support from June 2019 to August 2021. An internship at Trantech Radiator Products, Inc. involved designing and executing a t-test to identify variations in the production process, and an Advanced Engineering internship at Magna International focused on AutoCAD and supporting manufacturing expansion projects. James holds a degree in Chemical Engineering from Michigan State University, obtained in May 2019.

Why SkyCycle™ For the Carbon Future: # A Carbon Trifecta: Only SkyCycle™ can address CCU, CCS and direct capture. # A profitable development path: Profits from product sales in early CCU plants will subsidize development scale-up and manufacturability cost-down. # Ready-made for source emitters: Process requires little to none retrofitting needs to current emitter sites, except for pipes to existing smokestacks and is deployable across a multitude of industries. # Low level of energy penalty: World-class energy penalty of 10% at 14% CO2 flue-gas levels; all models for other industries vary only-slightly; diligence for your industrial focus available. # Mineral storage is safe, very stable, environmentally sensitive, and requires no maintenance expense. # No lack of storage candidate sites: Ubiquitous availability of silicate resources, many of which are located near large emitter zones; storage process is also safe, dense, and uncomplicated. # Robust patent portfolio: 68 Patents issued in 60 Countries, 31 Patents pending CarbonFree has developed patented technologies that capture CO2 from stationary point source emitters and transform them into carbon-negative chemicals. Imagine if all industrial manufacturing plants could reduce their CO2 emissions and create green products. SkyCycle and SkyMine create sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), and hydrochloric acid. CarbonFree’s modular and scalable technology can make this a reality, providing an on-site solution without the need of costly infrastructure to transport and store CO2. CarbonFree is ready to act now with its existing SkyMine facility in San Antonio, Texas and it’s first SkyCyle plant being deployed in 2022. The technology is currently backed by energy-savvy investors including Fortistar, Braemar, BP Energy Ventures, Husky Partners, Carl Berg and Apollo.
