Objective
eChemicles is at the global forefront of the emerging Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) industry (industrial carbon management). We are industrializing and scaling-up a breakthrough low-temperature CO2 electrolysis technology based on the world leading scientific results of one of the company’s founders, Professor Csaba Janáky.
CO2 electrolysis is a process of transforming CO2 into valuable products using electricity as the only energy input. The technology not only helps reducing CO2 emissions but also producing essential chemicals or fuels in a sustainable way, using renewable energy sources. Importantly, our technology can help the de-carbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors, such as chemical/petrochemical production, aviation, maritime, or the cement and steel industries without posing the need to decommission the multi trillion USD industrial infrastructure.
In our successfully completed EIC Transition project we have reached TRL6, demonstrating our technology with the world’s first low temperature CO2 electrolyser container prototype, generating green CO in a relevant environment, i.e. integrated to a photovoltaic park. Importantly, we have demonstrated the scalability of our approach, addressing a key bottleneck in our field. In fact, to our best knowledge, we have the currently largest low-temperature CO2 electrolyser stack in the world. Our electrolyser stack design is patented in all relevant markets in Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia.
As the next milestone on our development roadmap, this Accelerator project will turn our current containerised prototype into a commercial product, introduced to the market by 2028 to serve demand for small scale production of industrial CO. Entering this beachhead market will demonstrate the market viability of our technology both to potential customers and investors as we keep scaling it up to capacities able to serve the needs of medium- and large-scale production across all targeted industries.
