Breaking new ground.

Traditional carbon capture systems function like sponges for CO₂. When CO₂ comes in contact with the capture material, it is soaked up and trapped inside of the structure. The CO₂ is then squeezed out in the release process by applying large amounts of heat, which breaks the bonds between the CO₂ and the capture material. This process uses vast amounts of energy and is therefore difficult to scale.

Verdox, in contrast, has designed an electric system that makes it easier to both soak up the CO₂ and squeeze it back out. The design of our capture devices allows for gases to flow through with less resistance, making the soaking process more efficient. Instead of squeezing out the CO₂ with heat, we also only apply a specific voltage to the capture material to release the CO₂. This radically different approach allows for far more efficient capture and release of CO₂ using only electricity, and without the need for heat or water.

Shaping the system.

Our solutions are comprised of stacks of electrodes that are assembled in arrays. To capture more CO₂, more stacks are added. This modular approach makes the technology highly scalable and eliminates the need to redesign systems for larger applications.

Gas enters each stack on one side and is channeled through the electrodes that make up the stack, in which the CO₂ is absorbed. The remaining gas simply passes through the stack and exits on the other side. Once the stack is saturated with CO₂, the incoming gas is stopped, and pure CO₂ exits the stack on the other side. Installing stacks in parallel with alternating cycles allows for a continuous flow of incoming mixed gas and outgoing pure CO₂.

Directing the flow.

STEP 1

**Mixed gas enters**

Gas mix containing CO₂ enters the system

STEP 2

**Cells are activated**

Applying a specific voltage adds electrons and activates the electrodes

STEP 3

**CO₂ is captured**

The activated electrodes attract CO₂ and bind it

STEP 4

**Remaining gas exits**

The remaining gas that is not captured exits the system

STEP 5

**Cells are deactivated**

Applying a different voltage removes electrons and releases the CO₂
