Single step conversion of Co2 to Dimethyl Ether
TRL Level:
5
Advancing industrial carbon utilization through dual-functional, single-step DME production.
Vision
Revolutionizing global carbon utilization through single-step, dual-functional catalysis to transform industrial CO₂ into sustainable DME, accelerating the global transition toward a net-zero circular economy.
Problem
Replacing energy-inefficient, capital-intensive two-step DME production. This mitigates industrial CO2 emissions and high fuel import costs burdening global industrial sectors and national energy security.
Solution
Our dual-functional catalyst converts CO₂ directly into DME, replacing the conventional two-step process and turning industrial emissions into cost-effective, sustainable energy.
Potential
The global DME market, projected at $11 billion by 2030, strong growth and policy support from India’s Ministry of PNG, favoring first movers in blending and production.
Target Beneficiaries
Significant benefits for global cement, steel, and fossil-fuel power sectors; local sugar-industry stakeholders are also exploring it, using CO2 purity as a potential feedstock.
Current Users
A few early discussions with steel and sugar industries are underway to establish a pilot scale of 1 ton/day CO2 mitigation.
