Oxylus Energy offers affordable fuels and chemicals without carbon footprint

Researchers at Oxylus Energy studied cobalt phthalocyanine catalysts on carbon nanotube supports to enhance electrochemical processes for sustainable fuel and chemical production.

Oxylus Energy is advancing the production of green methanol through electrochemical innovation, focusing on carbon nanotube-supported catalysts. The company's CO2 electrolysis technology efficiently converts captured or emitted CO2 into green syngas and methanol, achieving high selectivity and seamless integration with catalytic upgrading systems.

The catalyst technology originated from research at Yale University, led by Prof. Wang. The research focused on cobalt phthalocyanine molecular catalysts immobilized on carbon nanotube supports for electrochemical CO2 reduction. Oxylus Energy has developed membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) that incorporate a proprietary cathode architecture, enabling high-rate, selective conversion of CO2 to CO and methanol under industrial conditions.

Oxylus Energy is reducing the cost of CO2-derived fuels and chemicals by emphasizing catalyst design, durability, and scalable stack engineering. Their modular systems facilitate distributed deployment near biogenic CO2 sources, chemical plants, and e-fuel hubs, supporting carbon-neutral methanol production without traditional reforming constraints.

With multi-kilowatt stack development in progress and pilot deployments planned, Oxylus Energy is collaborating with producers, offtakers, and project developers to expedite the global adoption of renewable, CO2-based fuels and feedstocks. The company's mission is to make green methanol scalable and affordable through electrochemistry.
