Advanced Cryogenics Ltd. has celebrated 26+ years as a major carbon dioxide (CO2) and cryogenic gas consulting practice. The company caters to all types of allied industries from industrial gas, to chemical, energy, power, fertilisers, and biofuels, to name just a few.
Biofuels is entering an era of transformation from corn and grain-based fermentation to cellulosic for production of both fuel-based ethanol and downstream chemicals, and specialty products, to include algae, which also serves as a fine carbon sink. Today, beyond the standard goal of maximising revenues from all projects, source types, and solutions, would be environmental solutions – from finding and developing carbon sinks from traditional sequestration solutions such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR), to downhole sequestration into aquifers or photosynthesis.
Since 1989, the company has been ahead of the curve with changing trends in CO2 sourcing, which have been driven by legislation, energy-based commodity values, market developments such as flue gas recovery in the 1990s or the rise in fuel-grade ethanol plant developments through the 1990s/2000s, and the development of improved solutions and added value for CO2 by-product from low cost energy-borne projects such as ammonia and ethylene oxide projects.…
