"The approach has two climate benefits, said CEO and co-founder Todd Brix. First, it uses CO2 that’s captured as an industrial waste from facilities such as biogas and bioenthanol producers or it’s pulled from the atmosphere using a direct air capture device. Second, it generates formic acid and other formate chemicals that can replace fossil fuels as a feedstock for fuels and other products."

"Arzeda, which raised a $33 million Series B round of venture funding in March 2022, doesn’t just help companies with discovery. It’s also a co-development partner. It has already worked with Unilever to design, engineer and test the enzymes in real-world testing quantities. The next step will be to scale production of the enzymes and help commercialize them. 'We are getting better and better at the design with every undertaking,' said Arzeda CEO Alexandre Zanghellini."

"The Energy Department anticipates that new supercritical carbon dioxide turbines can shave energy consumption at power plants by 10%, but that’s just for starters. They have a much smaller footprint than their steam-driven cousins, resulting in manufacturing efficiencies all along the supply chain."

"The abundant seawater surrounding Guam provides an enticing energy source: hydrogen. Through a process called electrolysis, energy from electricity splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. This generates a fuel that can also be stored and used when renewable electricity is not available."
