Collaboration expands the use of affordable and sustainable carbon-neutral and fossil-free formates for usage in industry, agriculture, and as liquid energy carriers.

In his debut appearance on the Digest podcast, OCOchem CEO Todd Brix joins Jim Lane to explore how regenerating biogenic CO₂ into formate could unlock a new platform molecule for the 21st-century bioeconomy.

The recognition highlights OCOchem’s development of the Carbon FluX Electrolyzer for the conversion of CO2 into formate molecules.

OCOchem announces its first commercial product shipment: Potassium Formate.

OCOchem and ADM announce a production partnership between the companies to build an innovative new CO2 conversion facility at one of ADM’s existing locations.

OCOchem, in partnership with Mobivolt, announces the completion of a prototype, Hydrogen Formate Reformer, which decomposes hydrogen formate to generate 99.99% pure Hydrogen which can be used in hydrogen fuel cells and other applications.

Facility represents the first industrial-scale application of a CO2 Electrolysis process using commercial grade and size gas diffusion electrodes measuring 1.5m2 each in surface area.

What if we could pull CO₂ straight from the air and turn it into a valuable chemical, without fossil inputs? OCOchem and Aircapture collaborated with The University of Alabama on a newly published study in RSC Sustainability that demonstrates exactly that.

After 3 years of CO2 electrolyzer scale-up, OCOchem is now scaling out. GeekWire’s STARTUP coverage documents the Pacific Northwest entrepreneurial scene, with this edition focusing on OCOchem’s growing momentum.

OCOchem Co-Founder and CEO Todd Brix shares with The Chemical Engineer magazine why CO2 Electrolysis is the process and Formate is the molecule for best converting CO2 into useful fossil-free organic molecules.
