Spotlight: Dioxycle

When Dioxycle co-founders?Sarah Lamaison, PhD , and?David Wakerley, PhD , looked for ways to apply their years of academic research in CO2 electrolysis, they decided to go after the toughest challenge they could find--decarbonizing chemicals. What followed is a mission obsession guiding endless hours in the lab, from the 英国剑桥大学 to 美国斯坦福大学 , and now the company's shifts from intensive R&D to early commercialization.?

Dioxycle's modular electrolysis unit is poised to set a new industrial standard of sustainable production in the chemical sector – a $5 trillion+ industry that relies on oil as raw material and is the 3rd largest industry source of direct CO2 emissions globally. By removing fossil fuels from the production of ethylene -- a foundational building block for everything from textiles to building materials and cars – Dioxycle has the potential to slash CO2 emissions by 800 million tons every year.

The company's approach to building is the epitome of gigascaling in action. The electrolyzers are built modularly and designed for easy integration into existing industrial plants (which reduces CapEx and drives down costs faster), setting Dioxycle on a trajectory to deliver sustainable ethylene that's cost-competitive with traditional fossil-fueled processes.
