Problem
Industrial processes release significant amounts of CO2 emissions, contributing to climate change. Traditional carbon capture and storage methods often involve complex and expensive infrastructure, and do not always offer a permanent solution for sequestering the captured carbon.
Solution
SkyNano transforms CO2 emissions into solid carbon nanomaterials through electrochemical conversion, offering a permanent storage solution. The process uses CO2 emissions and electricity as inputs, producing solid carbon and gaseous oxygen. These carbon nanomaterials can then be used to enhance the performance of various consumer goods, including faster-charging batteries, longer-lasting tires, and multi-functional coatings. This approach addresses the need for effective carbon management while creating valuable materials.
Target Audience
The primary customers are industrial companies seeking to reduce their carbon emissions, as well as manufacturers looking for advanced materials to improve product performance.
