Advancing Carbon Capture Technologies
BECKER's review of the Carbon Capture Technology Expo:

BECKER vacuum pumps and compressors at the forefront:

As part of our strategic focus on supporting emerging sustainability initiatives in carbon capture, BECKER recently participated in the Carbon Capture Technology Expo Europe 2024 – the world’s largest event for carbon capture, utilisation, and storage, held in Hamburg, Germany.

 

The event brought together global pioneers and influencers across the carbon capture value chain, providing our Market Manager, Tim Tietz, with an excellent opportunity to engage with industry leaders, innovators, and potential collaborators.

Highlights from the Carbon Capture Technology Expo in Hamburg:

The Carbon Capture Expo 2024 served as a platform for knowledge exchange, innovation showcases, and commercial exploration, whilst addressing one of our biggest global challenges - reducing carbon dioxide gases in our atmosphere.

 

While we had a series of pre-scheduled meetings, it was equally encouraging to witness spontaneous and genuine interest in Becker’s vacuum and compression technologies from companies across the globe, from emerging start-ups to established multinationals.

 

These conversations revealed shared challenges, complementary capabilities, and, importantly, laid the groundwork for several collaborative projects currently under exploration.

 

Tim shared how he returned optimistic about the tangible role BECKER systems and our team can play in supporting emerging carbon capture processes worldwide.


Top Takeaways & Market Trends:

Although the Hamburg event was co-located with the Hydrogen Technology Expo, our observation was clear: interest and attendance were heavily invested toward decarbonisation.

 

This underscores the accelerating global focus on carbon mitigation and the essential role of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) systems in achieving ambitious net-zero goals.

 

We also noted a common theme across conversations: the industry's demand for process optimisation and reliability. As companies search for the most effective and efficient methods to capture and process CO₂, they are increasingly seeking solutions tailored to their specific operational requirements.

 

We are pleased that Becker’s precision-engineered vacuum pumps, blowers and compressors offer a versatile and trusted foundation for these systems.

The state of Carbon Capture Innovation:

One of the most notable takeaways was the diversity of technologies currently under development.

 

From direct air capture to point-source separation, Tim noted that there is certainly no "one-size-fits-all" approach. Instead, the sector is maturing into a multifaceted ecosystem where different carbon capture technologies are applied across various industries and use cases.

 

We anticipate the future of carbon capture will be defined by a blend of these innovations. The adaptability of Becker’s technology positions us to serve a wide array of applications - from early-stage R&D to fully scaled commercial facilities.

 

How is BECKER supporting Carbon Capture Developments?

At BECKER, we understand that delivering effective carbon capture solutions requires close alignment with evolving process requirements. That’s why we approach every engagement with both trusted expertise and a consultative mindset.

 

Our vacuum pumps and compressors are already in use in several active carbon capture projects, supporting applications ranging from flue gas treatment to solvent regeneration.

 

We can confidently say that our technology is helping to enhance the reliability, energy efficiency, and scalability of these systems. This continued exposure is also informing how we adapt and innovate, and exploring bespoke systems designed to align with our customers’ specific capture needs.
