RenewCO₂

Petrochemical processes used to make everyday plastics and chemicals emit 920 million tons of CO₂ per year, aggravating climate change. Chemical production can be decarbonized by replacing fossil-based materials with chemicals made from recycled CO₂, water, and electricity.

The RenewCO₂ team has developed a proprietary catalyst that enables a one-step, low-temperature process for converting CO₂ into carbon-negative chemicals. Inspired by nature, their new technology accelerates the CO₂ conversion with high-selectivity and low-energy requirements. This efficient system can produce carbon-negative monomers and chemicals that are cost-competitive with conventional fossil-fuel-based products.

RenewCO₂ is currently focused on monoethylene glycol, a monomer for polyester, and plans to expand into formic acid, which can be used as a stable liquid hydrogen carrier. When scaled, these chemicals could eliminate CO₂ emissions on the order of gigatons per year by 2050.
