Vertimass and European Energy sign LOI for carbon capture and conversion

In California, Vertimass and European Energy have completed a Letter of Intent to integrate technologies for capturing carbon dioxide and converting it into hydrocarbon products around the world, a result that would reduce emissions of carbon dioxide that contribute to climate change. 

This unique combination takes advantage of European Energy’s expertise in capturing carbon dioxide from waste sources (carbon dioxide produced from anaerobic digestion, power production, fermentations, and cement manufacture) to produce methanol, as well as Vertimass’ technology to convert that methanol into jet, diesel, and gasoline fuels and chemicals. The team completed an initial proof of concept laboratory research for coupling their technologies earlier this year.
