C-Zero Inc. was founded on early 2023 as a spin-off from a patented technology from University of Calgary with the support of ICG Fellowship from Alberta innovates.
Our technology can convert any industrial off-gas or flue gas (e.g.,10-20 volume% CO2) into ethylene - which is the most widely used petrochemical in the world. The key competitive advantage of our technology is that it can bypass intermediate steps of incumbent CO2 conversion processes. Our mission is to avoid 1 million tons (Mt) of annual emissions to produce ~0.4 Mt of C2H4 by 2030”
Average cost of CO2 capture ~ $ 150/kg
Direct utilization of low concentration CO2
