Introducing the ultimate booth assistant: our CEO’s 15-year-old daughter. Her biggest selling point? Apparently, our technology is “way cooler than Dad makes it sound.” We’re at the Sustainable Business Network showcase event in Auckland today, presenting our carbon capture adsorbent. Low-energy and cost-effective technology: that’s something even a teenager can get behind.
About us
Captivate Technology uses a porous, solid-state material for carbon dioxide capture. Our metal-organic framework (MUF-16) is low-cost, scalable, tolerant of all impurities and functions in the presence of humidity. MUF-16 eliminates greenhouse gas emissions by selectively capturing carbon dioxide from industrial flue gases and biogas. The process is continuous and recyclable, generating a continuous stream of carbon dioxide to be stored or used in value-added applications. Captivate is rapidly moving to pilot and demonstration scales in collaboration with partners and end-users. Please connect with us to discuss more.

They say that good news comes in threes so how about this for a trifecta? 1️⃣ We've been named in the Sustainable Business Network's Next 95 for Disruptive Innovation "those bringing truly ground-breaking new ideas, or rapidly scaling sustainable ways of working." We're looking forward to trading our lab coats for cocktail attire at the awards showcase later this month! 2️⃣ We were one of the winners of a Technology Investment Network Early Stage Company award and were featured in this year's TIN100 report. Happy days! 3️⃣ We were selected as a Deep Tech Pioneer by Hello Tomorrow, which brings a global spotlight to our little company down under. They'll be needing a bigger spotlight soon since we're set to growwwww! These acknowledgements really spur us on as we take our carbon capture technology to the world. Our groundbreaking adsorbent sieves carbon dioxide out from industrial flue gas streams, preventing global warming and delivering a pure stream of CO2 for use or storage. All in a scalable, energy efficient, and financially viable way.

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend #GHGT-17 in Calgary, the world’s largest conference focused on Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS). It was inspiring to meet and exchange ideas with over 1,500 researchers, policymakers, investors, and companies from around the globe, all dedicated to advancing CCUS technology and policy. The sessions provided fantastic insights into both the technical and commercial aspects of CO2 capture, featuring a dynamic lineup of experts. I was thrilled to present my research and connect with so many talented individuals who share a passion for tackling climate challenges. The friendships, collaborations, and fresh ideas emerging from GHGT-17 were incredible, and I’m looking forward to future connections! A huge thank you to Prof. Shane Telfer, Captivate Technology, and Massey University for making it possible for me to attend and share my work. I learned a lot from this conference, and I’m eager to apply these insights to my work moving forward! Captivate Technology The MacDiarmid Institute Massey University

The Captivate team will be at GHGT-17 in Calgary next week sharing the latest developments on MUF-16, our groundbreaking solid-state adsorbent for carbon dioxide capture. Highlights include: - Results from onsite testing with six different industrial flue gases, - Best-in-class calculated purity, recovery, productivity, and energy penalty metrics using straightforward engineering (pressure swing adsorption), - Tolerance of impurities in the flue gas stream such as H2O and NOx, - A pathway to rapid full-scale commercial deployment via industry support, demonstration projects, and partner companies. We look forward to seeing you there. Nigel Campbell | Elnaz Jangodaz

It was an honour to play a small part in Mike King's I am Hope Climate Tour last night in Whanganui. Mike is doing a full circuit of the country on an UBCO electric motorbike. He's aiming to stimulate conversations at intersection of youth mental health and the climate crisis, with a spotlight on positive solutions to both. Mike got the event off to a great start with bear hugs for the entire audience! We had a super thoughtful and engaged crowd who dished up many stimulating questions. Our chat bounced from storing CO2 in rocks to whether or not agriculture should be in the ETS and the virtues of saying 'Hi' to strangers when you're out for a walk. Mental health and climate change are both weighty topics, but Mike's message is compelling: start local, connect with others, and focus on solutions.

Not only has Hautapu Pine substantially reduced its CO2 emissions, our adsorbent technology can capture the remainder. We were fortunate to be able to conduct a trial on their site recently that expanded our repertoire of emissions to include those from biomass fuels. Geothermal ✅ Coal ✅ Natural gas ✅ Biomass ✅ Biogas upgrading 🔜 Thanks Hautapu Pine for the great collaboration.
With high energy costs putting the squeeze on many businesses, one central North Island family company has found a way to power its plant using mountains of post peelings and a state-of-the-art wood waste boiler. Before the upgrade, Taihape’s Hautapu Pine Ltd had been burning 110 tons or $52,000-worth of coal every month, trucked in from the West Coast. Now it burns none, reducing its carbon emissions to just 6 percent of what they were. “We know businesses want to be able to better manage the challenges they face, whether that is extreme weather, emissions regulations or volatile energy prices,” Antonia Watson, CEO of ANZ New Zealand said, following a visit to the plant. “So it’s great to see businesses like Hautapu Pine invest in their future, and find ways to be more resilient and self-sufficient.” Hautapu Pine covered part of the total $3.6 million cost of the project with lending from an ANZ Business Green Loan. “The initial motivator was financial – it was the numbers - the opportunity to be more efficient as a business,” the company’s Managing Director Susan Benson said. “But I think it would be sitting pretty hard on my conscience now, if we were still burning coal.” Learn more about Hautapu Pine’s innovative wood waste boiler

Check it out - we successfully demonstrated the capture of CO2 from a gas-fired electricity turbine using our MUF-16 adsorbent! A big thank you to the team at Contact Energy Ltd for their warm welcome and seamless support of our on-site trial. Using carbon capture units with our adsorbent, gas-fired turbines can be transformed into net-zero electricity sources while generating a pure stream of CO2 for further use or storage. Kudos to Contact Energy Ltd for their leadership in this area.
As part of our journey towards net zero energy generation emissions by 2035, our Stratford thermal power station in Taranaki recently took part in an innovative trial conducted by Kiwi company Captivate Technology which aims to have positive impacts on our environment and industry. For several weeks in June, Captivate trialed a metal organic framework technology called MUF-16 on the Stratford Peaker Plant GT21 gas turbine. MUF-16 basically acts like a sponge, soaking up carbon dioxide (CO2) that is emitted out of the turbine, which would otherwise go into the atmosphere. Once captured and cleaned, the CO2 can then be used in many ways such as for fuel, fertilizer, or keeping medical supplies cool during transportation. It’s an exciting opportunity as this technology would reduce waste emissions at our thermal sites and would help with a domestic supply of CO2. Following the trial demonstrating that the new technology can successfully capture CO2, we are looking to work with Captivate on further trials. Captivate is a deep-tech start-up company based in New Zealand. They are currently scaling up their patented technology to remove CO2 from industrial emissions and we’re pleased to be supporting them. The images below show the Stratford GT21 peaker plant and the CO2 test rig.
