Company Summary

Our company addresses two vital concerns of society: climate change and energy security. We will capture CO2 from coal-fired power plants, and chemically convert them into usable, synthetic crude oil. We have a business model in place with AEP (Columbus OH) and Marathon Petroleum (Findlay OH) as strategic partners. At scale, we can produce 13,000 barrels per day from the output of an average coal plant that emits 1.5 million tons/yr of CO2.
