The new carbon capture method stepping up to tackle heavy industry
Superceding current organic amine-based solvents, the new generation of high-temperature carbon-capture techniques are a better fit for heavy industry
Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mantel, a leading provider of energy-efficient and cost-effective carbon capture for heavy industry backed by Shell Ventures, bp Ventures and Eni Next. Originally from the United Kingdom, studied Chemical Engineering at Loughborough University and completed MIT’s PhD in Chemical Engineering Practice programme, co-inventing Mantel’s core technology with Professor Alan Hatton and Takuya Harada. Later earned an MBA from MIT Sloan and co-founded Mantel with Sean Robertson and Danielle Colson. Recent media and thought leadership include the MCJ podcast and an Energy Media video. Mantel’s recently announced commercial-scale front-end engineering design (FEED) study in central-western Canada was covered by The Globe and Mail, CBC, Chemical Engineering, Hart Energy, Carbon Herald and others. Mantel’s $30 million Series A, led by Shell Ventures with participation from Eni and others, was covered by Reuters and described as a “step change” in carbon capture costs.
