Our technology enables highly efficient and low cost carbon capture that has not been possible until now.
About
Mantel is developing the material solution to carbon capture. Our molten borate technology is designed to capture CO2 at the temperatures found inside boilers, kilns, and furnaces – enabling highly efficient carbon capture that has not been possible until now. We’re a seed stage start-up spun out of MIT and working hard to scale our solution from the lab to industry. Supported by Breakthrough Energy, The Engine, and New Climate Ventures we’re building a strong team and a deep network of partners to realize our vision for the lowest cost path to decarbonizing heavy industry.
Key Benefits
Mantel is developing the first high temperature liquid phase carbon capture material – molten borates. The majority of existing carbon capture is done a low temperatures, requiring a large amount of energy and thus having a large cost associated with capture. By capturing CO2 at high temperatures, within the boiler, Mantel can recover wasted energy, thereby lowering the energy penalty and cost. By operating in the liquid phase, Mantel can eliminate challenges related to performance degradation that are faced by solid materials.
Applications
We are building a platform of carbon capture solutions to abate CO2 emissions and remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Our technology can be used to address emissions across almost all sources of CO2 including coal, natural gas, cement, steel, hydrogen, shipping, and industrial heat. Applied to biogenic emissions our technology enables net-negative emissions from sources such as bioenergy, pulp & paper, and waste-to-energy - helping us to remove CO2 from the atmosphere that cannot otherwise be abated.
