The CO2RENEW uses a proprietary electrochemical process to convert carbon dioxide to useable and valuable products.

The system, which was originally developed for NASA and the US Navy, is a core element to advanced life support systems used in closed environments.
“To be commercially viable, products that transform carbon dioxide must cost-effectively produce valuable chemicals or fuels, provide practical solutions that people are compelled to implement, and have a positive environmental impact,” said Dr. Trent Molter, President and CEO of Skyre.
“Our CO2RENEW hits all the marks. Skyre has the only patented, tested and commercially-scalable electrochemical platform for converting waste carbon dioxide into valuable hydrocarbon fuels and chemical used in the production of dyes, polymers, feedstock preservatives and much more.”
“Based on our replicated performance data, our CO2RENEW system projects to be industrially-viable and commercially-relevant – significantly reducing emissions while saving customers up to 50% compared to current delivery methods for these products.”
Skyre’s recent test data for the conversion of carbon dioxide to formic acid show great technological developments – with the CO2RENEW having five times the production capacity of other reported electrochemical-based solutions.
