Process performance validated for key components;
now scaling up
Monmouth Junction, NJ – March 5, 2014
unveiled its new process
for the production of major chemicals
from carbon dioxide (CO2),
showcasing its demonstration-scale
‘reaction cell’ and confirming the potential
for cost-advantaged process economics.
Because carbon dioxide — a greenhouse gas —
is low-cost and readily available worldwide,
Liquid Light’s customers can profit by
producing high-value chemicals from CO2‘waste’;
reduce their dependence on oil;
and potentially reduce their carbon footprint.
Liquid Light’s first process is
for the production of ethylene glycol (MEG),
with a $27 billion annual market,
which is used to make a wide range of
consumer products such as
plastic bottles, antifreeze and polyester clothing.
Liquid Light’s technology can be used to
produce more than 60 chemicals
with large existing markets, including
* propylene,
* isopropanol,
* methyl-methacrylate and
* acetic acid.
