[COOloop]

Turning carbon emissions into everyday essentials.

What if we could make the things we need without digging up more carbon?

At COOloop, we're developing technology that turns captured CO₂ and renewable hydrogen into valuable fuels and chemicals, starting with ethanol. We're changing how the world makes the things it needs.

[The Challenge]
Almost everything we buy starts with fossil carbon.
From the clothes we wear to the paint on our walls and the fuel in our cars, carbon is an essential ingredient in everyday life.
But more than 90% of the carbon used by the world's chemical industry still comes from fossil sources.
We dig carbon out of the ground, turn it into products and eventually release much of it into the atmosphere.
There has to be a better way.

[Our Breakthrough]

CO₂ isn't waste. It's our raw material.

What if we could turn carbon emissions into something useful?

That's exactly what we're developing at COOloop.
Our proprietary catalyst combines captured carbon dioxide and renewable hydrogen to produce ethanol directly, in a single step.
