Technology & products

‍
CCm’s patented process leverages novel cellulose‑amine capture materials able to retain around 95% of flue‑gas CO₂, which is then used to stabilise ammonia, phosphates and fibrous materials from agricultural or industrial waste streams into slow‑release, organo‑mineral pellets branded as “CCm Growth®” fertilizer Ellen MacArthur Foundation+5LinkedIn+5ccmtechnologies.co.uk+5. These fertilizers sequester carbon in soil (roughly 1 tonne of CO₂ equivalent per 2 tonnes applied), improve soil structure and moisture retention, and reduce risks of nutrient leaching compared to conventional options.

Impact & recognition

CCm has been recognized internationally, partnering with major agricultural and waste‑treatment players such as Severn Trent and PepsiCo to pilot fertilizer production from wastewater and agro‑food by‑products, including potato peelings CB Insights+7ccmtechnologies.co.uk+7Ellen MacArthur Foundation+7. Their efforts have secured government and private funding, including a multi‑million‑pound backing and Carbon Trust verification of cradle‑to‑gate carbon footprint for their fertilizers ccmtechnologies.co.uk+1LinkedIn+1. With a growing patent portfolio and recognition in sustainability circles (e.g., FoodTech 500), CCm Technologies stands as a leader in decarbonizing agriculture through innovative circular economy solutions.
