Our Mission
About O-Two Carbon
Bridging the Gap from Research to Real-world Industrial Deployment
Founded in 2023, O-Two Carbon is a Calgary-based clean-tech startup focused on developing and commercializing transformative technologies for a low-carbon future. Our mission is to convert industrial greenhouse gas emissions into high-value chemicals and materials, enabling a circular carbon economy and addressing the global climate challenge.
O-Two Carbon provides comprehensive research and development (R&D) services, specializing in electrochemical carbon conversion, life cycle assessment (LCA), and techno-economic analysis (TEA). We collaborate with industry partners, research institutions, and government agencies to accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable technologies.
Strategic Impact
Our Value Proposition
The Problem
High costs of current carbon capture methods hinder industrial adoption.
Average cost of CO2 capture ~ $150/ton
Cost Distribution on Final Product
Our Mitigation
We enable direct utilization of low concentration CO2, bypassing expensive capture steps.
Direct utilization of low concentration CO2
Cutting the capture cost by half will lead to a ten-fold market growth.
Innovation
Our Technology
Transforming industrial emissions into high-value chemicals through advanced electrochemical CO₂ conversion.
Ethylene from Industrial CO2
Our proprietary technology converts industrial off-gas directly into ethylene—the most widely used petrochemical globally. By bypassing the energy-intensive intermediate steps of traditional processes, we provide a more efficient and cost-effective route to circular carbon materials.
- Low Energy Consumption
- Direct Emission Utilization
- Scalable Industrial Design
Circular Economy
Converting waste emissions back into valuable products, closing the carbon loop for sustainable industry.
Advanced Materials
Our process enables the production of high-purity building blocks for next-generation polymeric materials.
Climate Impact
Targeting a reduction of 1 million tons of annual emissions by 2030 through direct carbon conversion.
Sustainable Lifecycle & Impact
We don't just capture carbon; we transform it. Our technology is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing industrial infrastructure, providing a plug-and-play solution for decarbonization.
