Energy, industry and transition

Materials create the fabric of our lives. They help us grow, work, play, travel, connect. They give us heat, light and power. They produce the everyday products we rely on. Materials innovation has enabled the technologies that have made it all possible, transforming our lives and livelihoods. But it’s come at a price. Because at the heart of it all, are fossil fuels. The more fossil fuels we use, the more carbon we emit, the warmer it’s becoming. Our climate is in crisis. And the clock is ticking.

The future of carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas, mostly known as a waste product from the combustion of fossil fuels. But what if waste CO2 could be captured and reused for sustainable applications in net-zero manufacturing? It is used across many industries particularly food and beverage, as well as the chemicals industry.
