About the Solution
Air Company’s technology transforms CO2 from the atmosphere into impurity-free alcohols that can be used across various consumer industries. Their technology uses captured CO2 and generates electricity from sunlight using solar energy to power their conversion system. Air Company’s conversion system breaks apart the CO2 and water over their proprietary catalysts and reforms them to produce alcohol, with oxygen as the only byproduct. Their scalable process has net-negative carbon emissions, removing 1.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere per kilogram of alcohol produced in a complete life cycle analysis.
