Company Summary

We developed an electrochemical process for converting CO2 into renewable methanol, a proven alternative to gasoline. In addition to being a highly efficient and low cost process, it is designed to decrease CO2 levels in the air, diminish harmful vehicle emissions, reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil, and offer a cheaper alternative for consumers. We aim to alleviate our transportation industry of its reliance on non-renewable resources.
