LowCarbon, a South Korean company driving the development of innovative carbon capture technologies, has selected Emerson to provide measurement and automation technologies for its carbon capture utilization and sequestration (CCUS), and direct air carbon capture utilization sequestration (DACCUS) facilities in the country.
LowCarbon’s carbon dioxide capture, and conversion catalyst technology converts carbon dioxide into substances such as sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate, which are used in industrial and consumer applications, thus reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
“Our collaboration with Emerson will help us accelerate the commercial development of our facilities and develop international CCUS and DACCUS standards for measuring, reporting, and verifying carbon footprints,” said LowCarbon CEO, Lee Cheol.

According to Emerson, its automation technologies and extensive CCUS expertise help clients design, build, and operate facilities efficiently, reliably, and safely. The company can automate the entire carbon capture value chain i.e., capture, purification, compression, liquefaction, and on to transportation and permanent sequestration.
“Emerson is the industry leader in providing advanced engineering and modeling tools, automation measurement and controls, and energy optimization software to ensure the accurate accounting of recovered CO2,” said Peter Zornio, Emerson’s Chief Technology Officer. “Our technologies can document the entire carbon footprint and help LowCarbon optimize its operations.”
