Startup Series: Cleaner Chemicals with Dioxcycle
Manage episode 397537324 series 2560422
Sarah Lamaison is the CEO and Co-founder of Dioxycle.
Dioxycle is developing technology to produce sustainable ethylene from recycled carbon emissions. Ethylene is the world's most used organic chemical and it's a precursor to many everyday products including construction materials, plastics, and textile fibers. Indeed, it's a core feedstock for polyester.
Ethylene is also an enormous market at well over $100 billion. We were excited to learn from Sarah about Dioxycle as an example of a startup leveraging electrolysis to convert electricity, water, and carbon emissions into low carbon chemicals. Dioxycle announced a Series A of financing earlier this year with investors including Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital and Gigascale.
In this episode, we cover:
- [02:00]: An overview of Dioxycle
- [04:37]: Sarah's background in CO2 electrolysis
- [06:41]: Ethylene's role in everyday products, including polyester fabrics
- [11:02]: Dioxycle's novel carbon electrolysis technology for converting emissions into ethylene
- [17:53]: The challenge of decarbonizing ethylene's embedded emissions
- [23:14]: Dioxycle's goal of cost-competitive production below fossil prices
- [25:24]: Current trends and challenges in sustainable ethylene production
- [28:26]: The need for renewable power sources for Dioxycle's electrolysis process
- [30:19]: Dioxycle's focus on deploying an industrial pilot and team expansion
- [33:49]: Key global centers for ethylene production
- [34:36]: Dioxycle's vision as a trusted tech provider in emissions recycling
