Problem
Petrochemical facilities face increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but decarbonizing chemical feedstock production remains a significant challenge. Reliance on fossil fuels leads to price volatility and environmental concerns, hindering sustainability efforts in hard-to-decarbonize industries.
Solution
Helix Carbon offers modular electrolyzers that convert captured CO2 into carbon-neutral chemical feedstocks, enabling on-site production at existing petrochemical facilities. This drop-in system provides a cost-competitive alternative to fossil-based materials while eliminating greenhouse gas emissions. By transforming waste carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals, Helix Carbon promotes circularity and supply chain resilience for the materials economy. The self-contained carbon-capture and conversion system allows facilities to immediately produce industrial-grade chemicals on-site, minimizing operational disruptions.
Target Audience
The primary customers are petrochemical facilities and other industrial companies seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve sustainability goals while maintaining cost-competitiveness.
