Creating Profitable Opportunities from The Carbon Problem
THE CO₂ PROBLEM
Atmospheric CO₂ is Increasing
How to Approach Carbon Neutrality - CCUS Problems
Step 1: Capture the CO₂
-
Pure CO₂ (99%+) is required for deep-well storage or commercial utilization
-
There is a vast difference in project economics between point source capture and direct air capture, which requires concentrating CO₂
-
Direct Air Capture consumes approximately 4.1X the energy required to sequester CO₂ compared to exploiting even a "low-grade" (~15%) point source, according to thermodynamics
-
For ethanol, natural gas production, and ammonia plants where the CO₂ concentration is already at 99%, the carbon capture energy advantage of these point sources is immense
Step 2: Storing the Captured CO₂
Step 3: Utilize the CO₂ (but why is this so hard?)
Carbogenesis: The Next Generation of CCUS
-
Plasma technology overcomes CO₂ inertness so that its energized molecular fragments can be used to form other chemicals. No need for catalysts.
-
CO₂ is a resource creating abundance, instead of a waste product requiring thoughtful disposal.
-
Each plasma-activated molecular fragment cascades into multiple products with broad-addressable applications.
-
Core technology is proven and flexible, yet highly unique.
