Verdox
Verdox specializes in electric carbon removal technology, offering a patented, electrochemical approach to capture CO₂ from both air and emission sources using renewable electricity.
Carbon Removal Technology
Verdox specializes in electric carbon removal technology. Their platform can remove carbon dioxide from both ambient air and industrial emission sources using electricity. The technology features a patented electrochemical approach that applies a current at select voltages to control the capture and release of CO₂. The system's efficiency is not affected by the CO₂ concentration of the source gas, making it adaptable to various applications.
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Power
Verdox's carbon capture systems run entirely on renewable electricity, which helps to avoid further emissions. By avoiding energy losses typically associated with heating and cooling processes, Verdox's technology uses up to 70% less energy. This energy-efficient approach enhances the feasibility and sustainability of carbon capture projects, particularly those that rely on renewable power sources.
Modular and Scalable Solutions
Verdox leverages a modular approach to capture CO₂ at any scale and concentration. The capture mechanism requires no moving parts, which reduces downtime and maintenance costs. This modularity and simplicity make it highly scalable, eliminating the need to redesign systems for larger applications. Gases enter stacks where CO₂ is absorbed and later released in a continuous cycle, allowing for seamless operation.
Key Partnerships and Recognitions
Verdox has formed strategic partnerships and received significant recognitions. The company partnered with Carbfix, winning a $1M XPRIZE Carbon Removal Award. They also teamed up with Norsk Hydro to decarbonize aluminum production. Verdox has been named on the 2023 Global Cleantech 100 list and was selected as a BNEF 2022 Pioneer in the carbon removal space. These accolades underscore the impact and potential of Verdox's technology in combating climate change.
Innovations in Electrochemistry
Verdox's technology highlights the role of electrochemistry in tackling climate change. The company has developed a new material aimed at improving carbon capture efficiency. Their electric system simplifies the process of soaking up and releasing CO₂. By allowing gases to flow through with less resistance, Verdox makes the carbon soak-up process more efficient, demonstrating how innovative material science can drive environmental sustainability.
