Problem
Industrial processes rely heavily on petrochemicals derived from fossil fuels, leading to significant carbon emissions and environmental impact. Traditional manufacturing methods lack sustainable alternatives for producing essential materials and fuels.
Solution
Twelve provides a carbon transformation technology that converts CO2, water, and renewable energy into hydrocarbons, offering a sustainable alternative to petrochemicals. Their electrochemical process, similar to industrial photosynthesis, enables the creation of essential materials and fuels with zero net new emissions. The Opus™ system eliminates industrial emissions by producing electrochemicals from air instead of petrochemicals from oil. This technology allows for the production of CO2Made® materials, which match the quality and performance of traditional products without the environmental drawbacks.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industries reliant on petrochemicals, such as aviation, manufacturing, and transportation, seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and transition to sustainable materials and fuels.
