Problem
Traditional ethylene production relies on fossil fuels, contributing significantly to carbon dioxide emissions and environmental degradation. Existing alternative processes often require costly feedstocks like hydrogen, ethanol, or syngas, increasing operational expenses and complexity.
Solution
CERT Systems offers a sustainable method for producing essential chemicals, such as ethylene, by converting carbon dioxide emissions using CO2 electrolysis, requiring only water and electricity. This single-step process directly converts CO2 into ethylene, reducing capital expenditure and physical footprint compared to multi-stage alternatives. Every tonne of ethylene produced sequesters over 3 tonnes of CO2, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. The resulting ethylene molecules are chemically identical to those derived from fossil fuels, allowing seamless integration with existing downstream processes without requiring adjustments.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes chemical manufacturers, industrial gas companies, and organizations seeking sustainable alternatives for ethylene production and carbon emission reduction.
Features
- Direct CO2 to ethylene conversion via a single-step electrochemical process
- No requirement for hydrogen, ethanol, or syngas feedstocks
- Production of chemically identical ethylene molecules to virgin fossil molecules
- Mitigation of over 3 tonnes of CO2 emissions per tonne of ethylene produced
