NX CLIQ™
Advanced CO₂ liquefaction for scalable CCS infrastructuresEnabling Efficient CO₂ Transport
- Self-refrigerated CO₂ liquefaction
- Lower equipment counts and complexity
- Flexible liquid CO₂ delivery conditions
- Designed for medium and large-scale CCS
- Suitable for transport, storage, and utilization
As carbon capture projects move toward large-scale deployment, one critical bottleneck becomes increasingly evident: how to efficiently condition, transport, and store captured CO₂. Conventional liquefaction systems often struggle with scalability, energy efficiency, and process complexity, especially in hub and cluster configurations.
To unlock the full potential of CCS value chains, CO₂ liquefaction must become more integrated, flexible, and energy efficient.
Self-refrigerated liquefaction
NX CLIQ™ is NEXTCHEM’s proprietary CO₂ liquefaction technology, designed to simplify and optimize large-scale CO₂ conditioning. By using CO₂ itself as the refrigerant, the process eliminates the need for external refrigeration systems, reducing complexity and improving operational efficiency.
The technology integrates compression, purification, refrigeration, and liquefaction into a single thermodynamically optimized loop. This high level of integration minimizes equipment count, simplifies plant design, and enhances reliability over the lifecycle.
NX CLIQ™ delivers liquid CO₂ at flexible pressure and temperature conditions, making it fully compatible with downstream transport, storage, and utilization infrastructures.
