Carbon Reduction - ERC (Electro-Reduction of Carbon Dioxide)

The ERC process offers an innovative alternative to carbon sequestration with many potential advantages. The first advantage is that the ERC, instead of addressing carbon dioxide as the problem, harnesses its chemical properties as part of the solution. Capitalizing on the abundance of carbon dioxide being released from fossil fuel combustion the ERC converts CO2 to useful, financially profitable products. The second advantage is that the process is driven by electric energy that can be taken from an electric power grid supplied by hydro, wind, solar, tidal or nuclear energy. Lastly, there is potential for this technology to be applied in a closed-loop fuel cell cycle, whereby carbon dioxide is converted into a fuel that is then used in a fuel cell to generate energy. Our company sees the potential of the ERC as a step towards mitigating climate change.
