About
Hovyu is a small Netherlands-based carbon capture engineering firm developing the ZEUS (Zero-Emission Ultra-Stripping) liquid-solvent process, positioned for direct air capture, flue gas capture, and biogas upgrading. The company participates in R&D consortia including the DRIVE project with TNO and TU Eindhoven, and reports projects in the Netherlands, Norway, and Brazil. Their ZEUS process claims CO2 release at room temperature, avoiding the steam-heat penalty of conventional amine systems.
