Project Summary / Description:

The sun is the ultimate inexhaustible power source for human civilization. We at C2X are passionate about utilizing solar energy to convert CO2 emissions into useful products. “C2X” means carbon to X, where X represents various possibilities. Our vision is to see CO2 as an opportunity rather than a liability. Our team has developed a highly efficient “artificial photosynthesis” process that transforms CO2 into alcohols, such as ethanol, which is a renewable fuel and can be used for producing hand sanitizer. Our reactor design is modular, scalable, and expandable.
