Cutting Carbon Benefits
When the carbon is removed from the exhaust gas, it is captured as a potassium carbonate salt. This salt is collected, and used to make various products such as soap and janitorial detergents. Operators who use these types of units have the ability to use the soap made from the carbon capture technologies in their facilities, which may help close a waste loop.
