About Hiili
Hiili Inc. is developing a biocatalyst-assisted Maritime Carbon Capture process that reduces the operating costs of post-combustion carbon capture by 30-44%, enabling significant cost savings of $500k to $800k per ship annually. The technology addresses the high energy requirements and capital costs associated with traditional carbon capture methods in the maritime shipping industry.
```xml <problem> The maritime shipping industry contributes significantly to global CO2 emissions, with post-combustion carbon capture (PCCC) identified as a crucial mitigation strategy. However, high energy requirements, substantial capital costs, and solvent toxicity impede the widespread adoption of PCCC in this sector. </problem> <solution> Hiili Inc. offers a biocatalyst-assisted maritime carbon capture process designed to overcome the barriers to PCCC adoption. Their proprietary biocatalyst reduces the operating expenses associated with solvent-based carbon capture by lowering the energy input required. This results in significant cost savings for ship operators while enabling the use of less corrosive, less toxic, and more stable carbon capture solvents. Hiili collaborates with partners across biocatalyst design, application testing, and production to accelerate the commercialization of maritime carbon capture solutions. </solution> <features> - Proprietary biocatalyst that lowers energy requirements for solvent-based carbon capture - Compatibility with less corrosive and toxic carbon capture solvents - Collaboration with leading AI/ML protein design companies for biocatalyst optimization - Partnership with the Technical University of Denmark for carbon capture application testing - Collaboration with Acies Bio for biocatalyst scale-up and production - Joint development and commercial partnership with a leading maritime company </features> <target_audience> The primary target audience includes maritime shipping companies seeking to reduce their carbon emissions and comply with environmental regulations, as well as operators of post-combustion carbon capture systems. </target_audience> <revenue_model> The company projects cost savings of $500k to $800k per ship annually using their technology. </revenue_model> ```
