Carbon Blade to Develop Renewable Energy-Powered, Zero-Waste CO2 Removal Systems utilizing RoCo® IP.
Dateline: PITTSBURGH, PA, November 6, 2023
RoCo®, an advanced materials company, has recently sold its innovative Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology to Carbon Blade, a California-based firm. The revolutionary DAC technology allows solvent regeneration without heat, which fosters the creation of smaller, renewable energy-powered modules. This represents a significant stride forward in carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
Carbon Blade is a climate technology company creating devices to transform global perspectives on CDR. The company is developing innovative, containerized, small-footprint systems that can be deployed virtually anywhere. Powered entirely by renewable energy, these systems will facilitate the capture and removal of CO2 without the need for energy-intensive, centralized removal facilities that require expensive support infrastructure to transport the captured CO2 to sequestration sites. According to Josh Franklin, CEO of Carbon Blade, “The acquisition of this technology is key to achieving our goal of being a disrupter and a price leader in the CDR space.”
“The sale of its intellectual property demonstrates RoCo’s® continued dedication to promoting innovative solutions that reduce the cost of carbon capture and contribute to environmental conservation,” said Batool Nulwala, CEO of RoCo®. Furthermore, the company believes this sale will allow both companies to focus on their core competencies, as Carbon Blade is better suited for scaling up the technology.
RoCo®, headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, is a leading materials technology innovator focused on developing and scaling sustainable technologies that promote clean air, clean water, clean energy, and a better environment for future generations.
Carbon Blade is a California-based climate technology company that develops hardware solutions to capture CO2 directly from the air as a climate mitigation strategy. We believe climate action is the existential challenge for our generation, and the reduction of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, both from decarbonization and CDR, is key to success in this endeavor. As such, we develop renewable energy-powered, cost-efficient CDR solutions that can lower atmospheric CO2 concentrations at scale.
