About the company
Solidec is the path to emission-free molecules. Solidec’s breakthrough approach to chemical manufacturing replaces centralized infrastructure with modular, on-site production using only air, water, and electricity. Solidec’s modular reactors are capable of producing many widely used chemicals that together represent a pathway to abating over one gigaton of carbon emissions annually.
About the solution
Solidec’s breakthrough electrolyzer technology—featured in Nature and Science—enables onsite, on-demand production of chemicals, starting with hydrogen peroxide. This eliminates the need for bulk transportation and storage, helping customers control supply chains, enhance safety, and streamline operations. Compared to conventional methods, Solidec’s process uses 3× less energy and produces 10× fewer emissions, offering a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative.
