Welcome to
co2ol catalyst
Our sulfur resistant next generation catalyst converts your CO2 emission costs into added value from methanol.
Climate Launchpad Austria
Our new team member Francesco Valentini pitched co2ol catalyst at the ClimateLaunchpad 2024 national finals. Winning the second place, he was promoted to entering the regional finals of Europe. Excellent job, Francesco!
Our Technology
Next Generation Catalyst
Our innovative new catalyst material based on MoS2 is readily active for converting CO2 into methanol with high selectivity.
It offers outstanding tolerance to impurities in flue gas streams, especially sulfur compounds, enabling to treat industrial CO2 emissions without the need for deep purification.
We are ready to move from lab to application.
The Concept
The technology based on our novel catalyst combines reduction of local CO2 emissions from various sources with the potential to defossilize chemical value chains.
Using green Hydrogen and renewable energy it produces methanol with significantly reduced carbon footprint .
Your benefits
outstanding
impurity tolerance
No decrease of catalytic acitvity even with sulfur compunds present in the flue gas.
flexibility towards
feed gas streams
Applicable to all sources of carbon dioxide, whether biogenic, geogenic or fossil.
no need for
deep purification
Significantly reducing plant complexity for Carbon capture and pretreatment.
increased
methanol selectivity
Making the best use out of Hydrogen.
mild
operation conditions
Already active at <200 °C.
no
noble metals
Based on abundant Molybenumsulfide.
