Problem
Current CO2 capture and air conditioning systems rely on slow processes using membranes, structured packing, or solids, leading to high energy consumption and capital expenditures. This inefficiency hinders widespread adoption of decarbonization technologies and limits access to cooling, especially in emerging economies.
Solution
Helix Earth Technologies employs accelerated liquid-gas chemistry to dramatically improve the efficiency of CO2 capture and cooling systems. By enabling aerosolized liquids to react rapidly with gases, the technology significantly reduces energy consumption in air conditioning and lowers capital expenditures for CO2 capture. This approach aims to democratize decarbonization and improve access to cooling for vulnerable populations by replacing outdated, slow processes with a more efficient and cost-effective solution.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes stakeholders in the built environment and heavy industries seeking to reduce energy consumption and capital expenditures related to CO2 capture and air conditioning, as well as emerging economies and vulnerable populations needing improved access to cooling.
