In this episode, we sit down with Aniruddha Sharma, CEO of Carbon Clean, to explore how carbon capture is evolving to address the 12 billion tons of CO₂ emissions from hard-to-abate industries. With a technology that has been around for 90 years, the challenge isn’t whether carbon capture works—it’s how to scale it efficiently.

The biggest challenge: Finding space to capture CO₂ at an industrial scale Making capture feasible: How Carbon Clean has reduced capture system size by 10x while increasing efficiency The cost of decarbonization: What it takes to transition sectors like transportation and construction What’s driving adoption? The push for carbon-neutral operations and competitive differentiation The road to scalability: Overcoming energy consumption barriers and unlocking the next phase of global adoption.

SPECIAL EPISODE! Catching Carbon joins the High Pressure Podcast to discuss the future of the CO2 distribution market and how it pertains to the industrial gas industry. If you are familiar with CO2 capture and sequestration, but new to the concept of utilization and the needs of the merchant CO2 market, this is a great overview episode! Thank you to George and Marie of Ratermann Manufacturing for this fun crossover episode.

Joining the conversation are three expert panelists, who provide insights into the commercialization of emerging CO2 capture technologies and the introduction of new source gases to the merchant CO2 market. The panel tackles key topics including cost pressures, scale-up challenges, market penetration, and competition within this infant industry. Tune in to hear a deep dive into the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of CO2 supply for the merchant market.
