Problem
Many industrial processes and transportation methods still generate significant carbon dioxide emissions that are difficult to eliminate through electrification and renewable energy sources alone. Existing carbon capture solutions often require substantial energy input in the form of heat, limiting their efficiency and increasing costs.
Solution
Verdox offers an electrochemical carbon removal technology that captures carbon dioxide directly from the air and industrial emission sources using electricity. This method significantly reduces energy consumption compared to traditional heat-based approaches. The technology is agnostic to the CO₂ concentration of the source gas, enabling efficient capture from both industrial sources and ambient air. By applying a current at select voltages, the system controls the capture and delivery of CO₂ without requiring large amounts of heat. The modular design allows for versatile deployment at various scales and concentrations, supporting organizations in achieving their decarbonization targets in an affordable manner.
Target Audience
The primary customers are organizations in industries with hard-to-abate emissions, such as aluminum production, seeking to meet decarbonization targets, as well as companies interested in capturing CO₂ from the air for use in other products.
