Carbon Cap Inc. is a clean technology company that delivers cutting-edge mechanical solutions to optimize heating and cooling efficiencies in multi-residential and commercial buildings. Their flagship offering is their patented Flue Gas Recovery (FGR) system, a waste energy recovery solution that can be retrofitted to work seamlessly with any commercial boiler, makeup air ventilation, or air conditioning system— regardless of the system’s age, size, or efficiency. Once installed, the FGR system reduces natural gas consumption, cuts emissions, and extends equipment life by up to 25 per cent. To date, one of Carbon Cap’s most successful projects is at 660 Briar Hill in Toronto, where their FGR system was implemented with excellent results. This project has set the foundation for further retrofitting plans in both Toronto and New York State. “We’ve identified a substantial market opportunity to offer buildings a way to lower their natural gas consumption in an innovative and cost-effective manner,” says Raphael Kolenko, founder and inventor of the FGR system. The benefits of Carbon Cap’s solutions are vast: increased efficiency means reduced utility bills, lower carbon taxes, improved asset value, and better LEED ratings. Additionally, building occupants enjoy a more sustainable, comfortable living environment, while property owners actively contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions—a core motivation for Raphael and his team. “Our mission is to advance sustainability in the building sector by creating innovative decarbonization technologies,” Raphael says. “Every day, we’re energized by the role we play in helping the global community reach its net-zero goals.” OCTOBER 2024
