Liquid Light makes carbon dioxide a practical feedstock for multi-carbon chemicals. Liquid Light develops and licenses process technology to make major chemicals from low-cost, globally abundant carbon dioxide. Customers profit from a lower cost of production while harnessing their current waste stream, reduce their dependence on cyclically-priced petroleum feedstocks, and carbon footprint.
Liquid Light's technology converts carbon dioxide waste to revenue. Liquid Light's core technology is centered on low-energy catalytic electrochemistry that converts carbon dioxide to chemicals, combined with hydrogenation and purification operations. The company adjusts the design of its catalyst, making technology that produces a range of commercially important multi-carbon chemicals. Additionally, by using 'co-feedstocks' along with carbon dioxide, a plant built with Liquid Light's technology produces multiple products simultaneously.
Liquid Light achieves low production costs by utilizing the lowest cost feedstocks available. Energy efficiency comes from the company's stable and efficient catalyst design and novel chemical processes that maximize product per unit of energy.
Liquid Light's first process produces ethylene glycol (MEG), with a $27 billion annual market. The company validates results consistent with cost-advantaged production at lab scale for key parts of the process; and the process scales in a predictable manner, akin to world-scale chlor-alkali plants.
Liquid Light's core technology centers on low-energy catalytic electrochemistry to convert carbon dioxide to multi-carbon chemicals. Over 100 patents and applications back the company, with Liquid Light extending to multiple chemicals with large existing markets, including ethylene glycol, propylene, isopropanol, methyl-methacrylate, and acetic acid.
Liquid Light’s investors include VantagePoint Capital Partners, BP Ventures, Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital, and Osage University Partners. Liquid Light aims to deliver sustainable alternatives to petroleum utilizing carbon dioxide and envisions to be the leading developer and provider of technology for creating beneficial products from carbon dioxide at the lowest production cost in the industry.
