Turnover Labs is helping chemical plants to reuse their waste CO2
Turnover Labs was born out of Marissa Beatty’s doctoral research into improving the durability of electrolyzers.
As petrochemical plants and other emitters look to reduce emissions, they’re finding that sopping up and storing all the carbon dioxide they produce doesn’t come cheap. Beatty is proposing an alternative: reuse the waste carbon dioxide on site by turning it into a building block used to make myriad chemical compounds. Beatty said the funding will help hire a few more people as the company simulates and tests what will happen when its electrolyzer technology encounters the sorts of gas streams coming out of real-world petrochemical plants.
