Pioneering a Sustainable Future with
Innovative Climate Technologies
CO₂SOURCED™ Ethylene sequesters over 3 tons of CO₂ into 1 ton of Ethylene, this process not only creates valuable products but also contributes significantly to combating climate change.
Relevant Industries
Industries that are major contributors to global CO₂ emissions, which have a profound negative impact on the environment. These emissions accelerate climate change, contribute to air pollution, and disrupt ecosystems. Reducing emissions from these sectors is vital for mitigating environmental damage and ensuring a sustainable, low-carbon future.
Oil Refining
Contributing about 1.3 billion tons of CO₂ annually (~3% of global emissions), arising from processing and heat production.
Power Generation
Power plants burning coal and natural gas emit ~15 billion tons of CO₂ annually, accounting for ~40% of global emissions.
Iron and Steel
Steelmaking emits around 3.6 billion tons of CO₂ annually, about for ~8% of global emissions largely from the blast furnaces.
Waste Management
Waste incineration produces an estimated 1.3 billion tons of CO₂ annually, emiting high-concentration CO₂, adding ~3% to global emissions.
Chemicals
Chemical industries produces roughly 2.2 billion tons of CO₂ yearly, ~5% of global emissions largely from the production of ammonia and ethylene oxide.
Cement
Cement production generates approximately 2.9 billion tons of CO₂ annually, contributing ~7% of global emissions, largly from calcination and energy.
Technology Integration Process
Hard-to-abate industries, such as cement, steel-making, and chemicals, struggle to reduce CO₂ emissions due to high energy demands and process-related emissions. These sectors release concentrated CO₂, making them ideal for Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS). By capturing CO₂ and converting it into ethylene, CCUS can help decarbonize these industries.
PARTNERSHIP / COLLABORATION
CO₂ Capture
Flue Gas Capture extracts CO₂ from industrial exhaust using chemical solvents or sorbents, compresses, and stores it for repurposing into products like ethylene, reducing emissions and supporting sustainable production.
Direct Air Capture (DAC) draws CO₂ from the atmosphere using fans, absorbs it with chemical solutions or materials, then releases, compresses, and stores or repurposes it. DAC can help reduce atmospheric CO₂ and support sustainable applications like ethylene production in the future.
OUR SOLUTION
CO₂ to Ethylene Conversion
CO₂ to ethylene electrochemical conversion reduces carbon dioxide (CO₂) to ethylene (C₂H₄) through an electrochemical reaction in cells powered by renewable electricity. The process breaks the C=O bond at the cathode to form ethylene. Our advancements in catalyst design and cell optimization improve efficiency and scalability, offering a sustainable, profitable solution for ethylene production and CO₂ utilization.
CO₂SOURCED™ Ethylene
CO₂SOURCED™ Ethylene captures CO₂ from the atmosphere or emissions and converts it into ethylene using renewable energy. For every ton of ethylene produced, ~3 tons of CO₂ are utilised and ~1 ton of emissions are mitigated compared to traditional methods.
CO₂SOURCED™ Fuels
Ethylene can be used to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), making it an attractive alternative for aviation industries.
CO₂SOURCED™Chemicals
Ethylene is vital for producing ethylene oxide (used in solvents and detergents) and ethylene glycol (used in resins and antifreeze).
CO₂SOURCED™ Plastics and Polymers
Ethylene is used to create PVC and polyethylene, which is used in packaging, construction, and durable goods.
CO₂SOURCED™ Textiles
Ethylene, through ethylene glycol, is key in producing polyester fibers, widely used in clothing, home textiles, and upholstery.
