The solution involves designing modular carbon capture kits that can be easily integrated into existing SME operations.

These kits can scale with the size of the business, allowing for incremental additions as needed.

Each module will include a small-scale, plug-in carbon capture unit compatible with various industry setups, using pre-calibrated technology to capture emissions.

The kits feature straightforward installation and maintenance guidance, minimizing the need for specialized technical skills.

To further support SMEs, the solution includes a user-friendly digital platform offering operational guidance, real-time data analytics, and support from a network of experts available for consultation if required.

This solution democratizes carbon capture technology by offering customizable, easy-to-implement kits that reduce entry barriers for SMEs.

It enables businesses to comply with regulations cost-effectively while improving their sustainability credentials.

The technology for small-scale carbon capture exists but is yet to be cost-optimized for SMEs.

Initial development would require investment in R&D to miniaturize and simplify the technology without compromising efficiency.

Regulatory barriers seem modest, but competitive landscape means differentiation through ease-of-use and cost will be crucial.
