Electric carbon removal for a Net-Zero future.

What we do
Meet the next generation.
Verdox’s patented technology is radically different from existing carbon removal solutions that use large amounts of heat in their processes. Our systems control the capture and delivery of CO₂ simply by applying a current at select voltages.
Our electrochemical approach is agnostic to the CO₂ concentration of the source gas, allowing us to efficiently capture CO₂ not only from industrial sources, but also from the air. Additionally, the electrochemical nature enables our systems to run entirely on renewable electricity and avoid further emissions.
Company's story
Our Specialty
Breaking new ground.
Traditional carbon capture systems function like sponges for CO₂. When CO₂ comes in contact with the capture material, it is soaked up and trapped inside of the structure. The CO₂ is then squeezed out in the release process by applying large amounts of heat, which breaks the bonds between the CO₂ and the capture material. This process uses vast amounts of energy and is therefore difficult to scale.
Verdox, in contrast, has designed an electric system that makes it easier to both soak up the CO₂ and squeeze it back out. The design of our capture devices allows for gases to flow through with less resistance, making the soaking process more efficient. Instead of squeezing out the CO₂ with heat, we also only apply a specific voltage to the capture material to release the CO₂. This radically different approach allows for far more efficient capture and release of CO₂ using only electricity, and without the need for heat or water.
Shaping the system.
Our solutions are comprised of stacks of electrodes that are assembled in arrays. To capture more CO₂, more stacks are added. This modular approach makes the technology highly scalable and eliminates the need to redesign systems for larger applications.
Gas enters each stack on one side and is channeled through the electrodes that make up the stack, in which the CO₂ is absorbed. The remaining gas simply passes through the stack and exits on the other side. Once the stack is saturated with CO₂, the incoming gas is stopped, and pure CO₂ exits the stack on the other side. Installing stacks in parallel with alternating cycles allows for a continuous flow of incoming mixed gas and outgoing pure CO₂.
Efficient
Uses up to 70% less energy by avoiding energy losses from heating & cooling.
Versatile
Leverages modular approach to capture CO₂ at any scale and concentration.
Reliable
Requires no moving parts in the capture mechanism that can cause downtime.

Our story
Verdox is making scalable, cost-effective carbon capture and removal a reality. Founded in late 2019 by Dr. Brian Baynes, Prof. T. Alan Hatton, and Dr. Sahag Voskian, the company is commercializing its electroswing adsorption (ESA) platform technology, originally developed at MIT, to remove carbon dioxide from industrial emissions and the air with 70% energy savings versus conventional approaches.
