Turning Carbon into Chemicals —Starting with Ethanol
Redeeming Carbon. Decarbonising Transport Fuels.
COOloop is pioneering a breakthrough catalyst that converts captured CO₂ and green hydrogen directly into ultra-low carbon ethanol — unlocking transport fuel compliance markets
The UK and EU have mandated increasing SAF blending: 2%→10% SAF by 2030 in the UK and 2%→6% by 2030 in EU. The supply for SAF, however, barely exists. The primary feedstock for SAF production (HEFA) is heavily limited which constraints its long term potential. Ultra-low carbon ethanol is the missing feedstock for long-term SAF production
Our proprietary MOF catalyst converts captured CO₂ and green hydrogen into ethanol in one step.
Inspired by the 2025 Nobel Prize–winning metal–organic framework technology, COOloop’s novel catalyst enables direct conversion of captured CO2 and green hydrogen into ethanol. It combines high selectivity, high yield and modular scalability to deliver ultra-low carbon and compliance-ready ethanol.
Acetic acid underpins global industries worth over $100 billion. From paints to packaging, every sector seeks sustainable feedstocks. COOloop enables incumbents to meet demand while reducing their carbon footprint — profitably.

Carbon cost exposure is rising.
[Why COOloop Wins]
Carbon-negative. Cost-competitive. Scalable.
COOloop turns captured CO₂ and hydrogen directly into acetic acid through a patented MOF-based catalytic process. The result: a carbon-negative pathway that is also cost-competitive with existing fossil routes.
Our advantage is clear: Cost parity with incumbents, even without subsidies. Carbon-negative life cycle, converting emissions into products. Modular design, easy to integrate with existing CO₂ sources. Licensing model, enabling rapid, low-capital deployment.
COOloop combines climate impact with economic advantage — making carbon-negative chemicals a profitable reality.
[The Impact]
Carbon-negative by design.
Each tonne of acetic acid made through COOloop can prevent over 2 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions.
At industrial scale, this means 17 million tonnes of CO₂ avoided annually within 10 years
—turning emissions into value.
