The zero-carbon gas turbine is here!
One large-scale AI model training run consumes as much electricity as 100 American homes use in an entire year. With data centers already accounting for 1-2% of global electricity and AI demand projected to triple this figure by 2030, we need solutions that power our digital future without undermining climate goals. The answer can come from an increasingly attractive solution: natural gas turbines equipped with next-generation carbon capture technology. Natural gas turbines play a vital role in our electricity mix, generating around 40% of power in the U.S. alone. But AI and the data center industry represent a huge shift in power consumption - facilities like Meta's could consume up to 2GW each, requiring continuous 24/7 operation. Gas turbines produce diluted CO ₂ emissions - typically between 2-5% concentration - creating unique challenges for conventional carbon capture technologies that are faced with very high energy consumption and thermal inertia preventing quick response to on-demand output adjustments. The good news is that we’ve built an electrochemical carbon capture technology directly addressing these challenges. RepAir's solution for gas turbine operators RepAir delivers the only electrochemical carbon capture system purpose-built for diluted CO ₂ sources (0-5% concentration). Our technology achieves efficient, cost-effective capture where conventional approaches face prohibitive energy penalties - consuming 70% less energy than traditional. For gas turbine operators and manufacturers, RepAir offers: A technology designed for dispatchable power supply: Our fully electric, solid-state system ramps up or shuts down within minutes, seamlessly adjusting to fluctuating needs for power A system that does not require heat: This eliminates steam generation infrastructure and associated energy costs High efficiency preserving plant economics: Capture 85-90% of CO ₂ emissions while maintaining turbine performance Compact, modular deployment: Our systems adapt to existing facility constraints without operational disruption Validated technology, ready for scale RepAir's electrochemical process combines fuel cell architecture with battery-like operation, using electricity to selectively move CO ₂ molecules across an anion exchange membrane. The electrochemical cells are continuously capturing without any downtime, thermal inertia, nor chemical handling. Our system produces 98-99% pure CO ₂ ready for utilization or permanent storage, meeting all requested specifications. Built with abundant materials and recycled polymers, our modular architecture allows cells to combine into stacks, and stacks into functional units—designed for mass manufacturing using validated production technologies. Partner with RepAir As AI reshapes global energy demand, RepAir enables gas turbine operators to deliver clean baseload power. We're ready to help decarbonize gas turbines - reliably, affordably, and at scale
