The CCUS process
How carbon capture works – from source to storage
Capture
CO₂ is captured directly at the source. We stay technology-agnostic here: our compression solution integrates with every established capture process, so the method that fits your plant also fits our system.
Compress
This is where we come in. Our integrally geared compressors bring captured CO₂ to the pressures required for pipeline transport and storage. Reliably, at industrial volumes. Our Carbon Capture Heat Recovery (CCHR) system goes one step further: it recovers the heat generated during compression and feeds it back into the capture process. That lowers the energy the capture plant needs, and with it the cost of the entire chain.
Store
Compressed CO₂ travels by pipeline or ship to depleted oil and gas fields or deep saline aquifers. There it is stored permanently and safely underground.
Utilization
Where storage is not the goal, captured CO₂ becomes a resource. It serves as feedstock for synthetic fuels, chemicals, and building materials. Waste emissions turn into new value.
Our Portfolio
Compression technology built for the scale of industrial decarbonization
We offer a full range of compressor technologies for CO₂ applications. From small-scale pilot projects to large industrial installations. Each system is engineered to meet the specific pressure, volume, and efficiency requirements of your CO₂ compression project.
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) provides a proven and practical way of reducing emissions for large industrial plants. Everllence technology plays a key part in CCUS.

Integrally geared compressors are used in industrial gases, oil and gas, CO2, urea, purified terephthalic acid or nitric acid processes. They can also be used as fuel gas boosters for large-scale gas turbines.
Compressors manufactured by Everllence is at the heart of many processes in various process industries. They are renowned worldwide for their quality as well as their high efficiency.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
We work closely with EPC partners and can provide turnkey compression packages, including engineering, manufacturing, installation supervision, and commissioning.
Once compressed, CO₂ is transported by pipeline or ship and stored permanently in geological formations underground. Alternatively, it serves as feedstock for synthetic fuels, chemicals, or building materials.
CCHR recovers the heat generated during CO₂ compression and feeds it back into the capture process. The capture plant needs less external energy, which lowers both operating cost and the carbon footprint of the capture step. The result: a more economical CCUS chain, without compromising on capture performance.
Yes. Our compression solution is capture-agnostic. It integrates with every established capture process, whatever method your plant uses. You choose the capture technology, we deliver the compression that brings the captured CO₂ to transport and storage pressure.
The economics are driven by a handful of factors: CO₂ volume and concentration, the required discharge pressure, the chosen capture method, and the energy recovered through CCHR. Compressor efficiency and modularization shape both CAPEX and OPEX over the plant's lifetime. To estimate the total cost of ownership for your case, use our CO₂ pilot calculator.
World's first large-scale CCS facility in the cement industry
From hard-to-abate industries to district heating networks, our technology is already cutting carbon emissions at industrial scale.
“We have the opportunity to decarbonize industries that are crucial for the world economy. That’s why we get out of bed every morning.”
Dr. Uwe Lauber, CEO Everllence

Inside cement's first carbon capture facility
Cement is one of the world's hardest-to-abate industries. In Brevik, Norway, the first commercial CCS facility for cement production is changing that, with our RG 63-7 compressor and Carbon Capture Heat Recovery (CCHR) system at its core. The plant will compress and condition 400,000 tons of CO₂ per year, captured by SLB Capturi's amine-based process.
Gas engines for the energy transition
How do you replace a coal plant during an energy transition? In Chemnitz, the local utility chose twelve of our 20V35/44G TS gas engines as the bridge to a carbon-free future. The plants run with up to 25 percent green hydrogen today and cut CO₂ emissions by 60 percent compared to coal.

A glimpse behind the numbers
Can a company decarbonize entire industries while cutting its own footprint? Our 2024 sustainability report puts the numbers on the table: 63 percent less CO₂ from our own production since 2018, three strategic pillars, and clear targets for the years ahead.
