At Opus 12, we have developed a device that converts CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels that are cost-competitive with conventional products. Our device can bolt onto any existing source of industrial CO2 emissions, and using only water and electricity as inputs, converts those emissions into some of the world’s most critical chemical products. We can reduce the carbon footprint of the world’s heaviest emitters, while creating a new revenue stream from what is discarded today as a waste product.
We’re recreating photosynthesis, but at warp speed. At commercial scale, our technology will have the CO2-converting power of 37,000 trees, but in the volume of a suitcase.
Our core innovation is a new internal component that reprograms existing hardware (the PEM electrolyzer) to do something it’s never been able to do before: namely, to split CO2. It’s a capital-light solution that takes advantage of technology that has been commercialized for decades.
