The chemical industry rests almost entirely on fossil carbon, both as the energy that drives its processes and as the raw material from which its products are built. Replacing that foundation is one of the central challenges of the energy transition. Electrochemical carbon oxide conversion offers a direct route: using renewable electricity to transform carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide into the molecules industry already depends on and as such turning a waste emission into a feedstock.

Dioxycle is a carbon utilization company developing electrolyzer technologies with the aim of operating at the industrial scale. The company produces key chemical building blocks without fossil inputs, offering a way to decarbonize sectors that are otherwise difficult to abate. Realizing this potential depends on progress across materials, reactor design, and engineering, and on bridging the gap between promising laboratory results and the durability, efficiency, and cost demanded by real industrial deployment.

This talk introduces Dioxycle's current progress to date.
