Our solutions are comprised of stacks of electrodes that are assembled in arrays. To capture more CO?, more stacks are added. This modular approach makes the technology highly scalable and eliminates the need to redesign systems for larger applications. Gas enters each stack on one side and is channeled through the electrodes that make up the stack, in which the CO? is absorbed. The remaining gas simply passes through the stack and exits on the other side. Once the stack is saturated with CO?, the incoming gas is stopped, and pure CO? exits the stack on the other side. Installing stacks in parallel with alternating cycles allows for a continuous flow of incoming mixed gas and outgoing pure CO?.

Traditional carbon capture systems function like sponges for CO?. When CO? comes in contact with the capture material, it is soaked up and trapped inside of the structure. The CO? is then squeezed out in the release process by applying large amounts of heat, which breaks the bonds between the CO? and the capture material. This process uses vast amounts of energy and is therefore difficult to scale. Verdox, in contrast, has designed an electric system that makes it easier to both soak up the CO? and squeeze it back out. The design of our capture devices allows for gases to flow through with less resistance, making the soaking process more efficient. Instead of squeezing out the CO? with heat, we also only apply a specific voltage to the capture material to release the CO?. This radically different approach allows for far more efficient capture and release of CO? using only electricity, and without the need for heat or water.

Verdox is making scalable, cost-effective carbon capture and removal a reality.
