ReCarbon: The Next Step in Decarbonization

As published in the SV November 2024 Newsletter

November delivered a stark reminder of climate change’s impact: droughts and forest fires ravaged the East Coast, while the West Coast experienced an unusually early cold snap. Meanwhile, hurricanes and super typhoons dominated headlines worldwide. This is a clear sign of climate change’s repercussions, highlighting the urgent need to prioritize decarbonization.

CO2 capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) technologies are vital for achieving decarbonization, from landfills, wastewater facilities, and dairy farms to sectors like heavy industry, power plants, and transportation. These technologies capture CO2, store it securely, and/or convert it into valuable products, thereby diminishing GHG emissions, addressing climate change, and concurrently delivering economic advantages.

CO2 utilization stands out for its potential to transform captured CO2 into fuels, chemicals, and other products, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and creating new market opportunities. By converting emissions into value-added goods, utilization not only cuts greenhouse gas emissions but also fosters economic growth through innovative carbon-based industries.

While current carbon conversion technologies like steam methane reforming and electrolysis hold great promise, they face challenges such as high costs, high energy consumption and the need for technological advancements.

ReCarbon has developed a technology that converts GHGs into clean fuels and other clean chemicals. This technology is highly efficient, cost-competitive, and far more climate-positive compared to conventional methods. Their patented Emission Blade, an energy-efficient microwave plasma device, converts CO2 and methane into syngas, a key building block for products such as hydrogen, methanol, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), ethanol, and ammonia.

ReCarbon’s Microwave Plasma is the Most Efficient Way to Transform GHGs into Clean Fuels

ReCarbon’s Plasma Carbon Conversion Unit technology has been rigorously tested and deployed in the field, producing CO2-free syngas by utilizing landfill waste gasses and industrial CO2 emissions.

ReCarbon has formed strategic partnerships with energy infrastructure developers and innovative energy project leaders, including Capwatt, Technip Energies (T.EN), H2Renewables, the City of Lancaster, and the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD).
