SOLVING CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate Change is a Problem & We Need Alternative Fuels

The burning of fossil fuels allows energy abundance but adds harmful emissions to the atmosphere.

While much can and must be done to reduce emissions and remove CO2 from the atmosphere, the only sustainable solution involves the crucial recirculation of carbon.

Just like Nature does, humans need to recycle CO2 and convert it into high-value products that can be used for energy and materials.

Such a recirculation of carbon–resulting in zero net emissions–is the best path to a sustainable future.

Oxylus Energy is building innovative technology that makes this a reality.

CONSIDER THE GENERATION OF GREEN CHEMICALS FROM CO2

We convert CO2 directly into carbon-neutral fuels & chemical feedstocks

As part of an overall solution, our proprietary highly efficient and scalable electrolyzer technology converts CO2 across our membrane and catalyst to create green chemicals. The e-methanol produced by our patent-pending technology can be then be used in replacement of traditional fossil fuels supporting a wide array of use cases.

THE OXYLUS STORY

ADVANCEMENTS AND FRONTIERS

In power generation, strides toward cleaner energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power are commendable. Additionally, adopting energy-efficient practices and deploying carbon capture and storage technologies are key steps in curbing CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power generation.

However, some crucial emissions sources remain formidable challenges to decarbonize:

Aviation: 3% of global emissions

Shipping: 3% of global emissions

Manufacturing and industry: 5 % of global emissions

However, some crucial emissions sources remain formidable challenges to decarbonize:

Aviation: 3% of global emissions

Shipping: 3% of global emissions

Manufacturing and industry: 5% of global emissions

Further, consider other essential areas such as plasticspaintslubricants, and even such as cosmetics which are each difficult to decarbonize for a variety of reasons. Currently, approximately $1 trillion of global energy and other petrochemical use poses significant hurdles in terms of decarbonization.

Business executives in these industries need renewable solutions.

The imperative for carbon recirculation

In this context, merely reducing emissions won’t suffice. We must focus on carbon removal and recirculation within our economy. Achieving net-zero emissions necessitates a practical, scalable alternative fuel that effectively recirculates carbon.

OUR TECHNOLOGICAL LEAP FORWARD

While carbon dioxide conversion to carbon-neutral fuel is technically possible, legacy technologies achieve limited energy efficiency rates, often not economically viable for many applications.

At Oxylus Energy, we’re pioneering a revolutionary approach. By integrating our proprietary next-gen electrolysis technology with cost-effective off-peak renewable electricity in combination with existing commodity tech and infrastructure, we’re on the cusp of transformative breakthroughs in industrial decarbonization.
