Problem
Heavy industries face significant challenges in reducing carbon emissions due to reliance on outdated, carbon-intensive processes. Traditional carbon capture and storage methods are often expensive, energy-intensive, and lack immediate revenue streams, hindering widespread adoption. Existing centralized chemical supply chains are also expensive and risky.
Solution
Rushnu offers CarbonCatalyze™, a carbon capture and utilization technology designed to integrate with existing industrial operations and transform CO₂ emissions into valuable by-products. The technology employs a dual-catalyst system for continuous CO₂ mineralization and catalyst regeneration, producing stable minerals and essential chemicals on-site. This approach reduces the energy and associated costs required for carbon capture and conversion, while generating revenue through the production of sustainable by-products. CarbonCatalyze™ aims to decentralize chemical manufacturing, providing a sustainable and economically viable solution for industries seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve net-zero targets. The modular and scalable design allows for integration with existing infrastructure, enabling facilities to reduce carbon emissions while generating essential chemicals on-site.
Target Audience
Rushnu's primary customers are heavy industries, including water and wastewater treatment facilities, steel manufacturers, and chemical companies, seeking to reduce carbon emissions and generate revenue through sustainable by-product production.
