Alchemy CO2 develops and operates facilities that capture green carbon dioxide as a by-product of renewable natural gas production from organic waste. This process transforms waste streams into a reliable, high-quality supply of sustainable CO2 for industrial end-users. The company provides climate-beneficial carbon dioxide, enabling customers to decarbonize their products compared to fossil-derived incumbents.

Problem
The industrial sector's reliance on fossil-derived carbon dioxide (CO2) contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and supply chain vulnerabilities. Existing CO2 sources, such as ammonia production, can have inconsistent uptime and environmental footprints. This creates a need for a more sustainable and reliable source of CO2 for various commercial applications.
Solution
Alchemy CO2 provides a sustainable and reliable supply of "Green CO2" by capturing it as a by-product of renewable natural gas (RNG) production from organic waste. Our proprietary processes capture, purify, and liquefy this CO2, which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. We then deliver this high-quality, climate-beneficial CO2 to customers, displacing fossil-derived CO2 and supporting a circular economy. This approach offers RNG producers a new revenue stream by monetizing their waste CO2 without operational changes, while providing CO2 consumers with a consistent, high-purity product that meets stringent quality standards.
Target Audience
Our primary customers include companies requiring CO2 for applications such as beverage carbonation, food processing, and green fuel production, as well as renewable natural gas producers seeking to monetize their captured CO2 by-product.
Features
- CO2 capture from the anaerobic digestion of organic waste streams, including agricultural waste and municipal solid waste.
- Proprietary purification and liquefaction processes to achieve beverage-grade CO2 quality, meeting CGA and ISBT standards.
- Network of distributed CO2 production sites to ensure reliable, continuous supply for customers.
- CO2 feedstock derived from renewable biomass, offering a lower carbon intensity compared to fossil-based sources.
- Seamless integration with Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) producers, providing a royalty-based revenue stream for their captured CO2 by-product.
- Delivery of Green CO2 in both liquid and gas phases to accommodate diverse customer applications.
