Problem
The chemical industry relies heavily on traditional petrochemical feedstocks, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and hindering the transition towards sustainable manufacturing practices. Existing Carbon Capture Utilization (CCU) technologies are often insufficient to mitigate these emissions effectively.
Solution
ViridiCO2 offers a patented technology that converts waste carbon dioxide into high-value chemical intermediates, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels in manufacturing. Their solid-phase catalyst enables manufacturers to directly replace up to 50% of traditional petrochemical feedstocks with captured CO2. By retrofitting ViridiCO2 technology to existing CO2 output streams, manufacturers can reduce costs, lower energy consumption, and transition towards a circular economy. The resulting chemical products can be used in the production of greener and more sustainable consumer goods, cosmetics, furniture, and clothing.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers in the foundation, formulation, and chemical industries seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and transition to more sustainable practices.
