SeeO2 Energy (Accelerator)

Company Description: Backed by a world-class research team at the UofC, SeeO2 will contribute to a global shift towards carbon utilization to tackle our planet most challenging problem. Unlike competing low-temperature solutions, SeeO2's technology does not require high purity CO2, and is able to tolerate several kinds of impurities such as N2 and sulfur species and it does not sour degrading the material. Their technology is built on solid electrolysis cells and can selectively co-electrolyze water and CO2 to produce pure oxygen and syngas (CO and H2) that can subsequently be converted to methanol, ammonia, substitute natural gas, or synthetic liquid fuels. When coupled with low-carbon electricity, their technology yields net carbon negative, with at least a 4x reduction compared to the incumbent stream methane reforming (SMR) process or >50% improvement over the competing state-of-the-art low temperature solutions. For every ton of CO2 removed, they eliminate 3 tons of CO2 emissions.
