The Technology
Our Mission Our mission is to design and set up an environmentally friendly and cost-effective system that turns carbon dioxide into formic acid.
We are developing a commercially viable, aqueous triple compartment electrolyzer, a chemical reactor using an electrical potential to drive the conversion of CO2 into formic acid. We have chosen this technique in order to reach the optimal conversion efficiency and cost-effectivity. With an eye on the ongoing energy transition, electricity seems to be the most sustainable future energy source.
