Abstract
Transforming to a low-carbon energy future will require decoupling economic growth rates from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, necessitating significant ingenuity and truly innovative solutions. Industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) has real value to certain sectors of the global economy. Capturing it for sale must be factored into the decarbonization equation. The Carbonova Process converts captured and pre-treated CO2 into high-value carbon nanofibers (CNF) using methane and waste heat from its own process, and/or potentially a co-located industrial facility (such as cement production).Carbon fibers and nanomaterials have been used as fillers in composite materials to enhance their chemical, physical, and electrical properties, resulting in higher performance compared with traditional industrial materials. In general, CNF materials have had limited usage due to high cost and GHG emissions during manufacture. Carbonova removes energy and sustainability barriers to broader market entry. High quality Carbonova CNF is in demand from early adopters partnering with the company. The technology is approaching commercial demonstration with a full-scale facility planned to be operational by mid-2026. Carbonova’s unique, circular solution will thereby enable profitable monetization of CO2, while reducing the carbon footprint of high-emitting industrial facilities.
