Our Story
CarbonStrike was founded with a clear mission: to make carbon capture simple, scalable, and accessible for industries that face the toughest decarbonisation challenges. As a carbon capture-as-a-service (CCaaS) project under PETRONAS, CarbonStrike is part of the energy leader’s technology commercialization arm, focused on turning bold climate innovation into real-world impact.
At the heart of our approach is a powerful strategy: design once, build many. By deploying compact, modular carbon capture plants, we deliver cost-effective, rapidly scalable solutions tailored for hard-to-abate sectors. This model reduces complexity and accelerates deployment, helping businesses confront carbon pricing and emission regulations head-on.
Backed by global partners and infrastructure market leaders, CarbonStrike offers truly end-to-end CCUS solutions, from capture and liquefaction to transport, utilisation, and storage. We don’t just provide technology; we build the pathway to real, measurable decarbonisation. This is more than a service, it's a movement to unlock industrial sustainability at scale.
