Integrated CO2 Conversion Platform
The C-UP PtX platform provides a simplified pathway for converting captured carbon dioxide into synthesis-ready syngas. By directly coupling carbon capture with electrochemical conversion, the system eliminates the need for conventional CO2 desorption, purification and compression steps.
Captured carbon in amine-based solutions can be fed directly into the electrochemical reactor, where it is converted into hydrogen and carbon monoxide—forming clean syngas suitable for fuel and chemical synthesis.
Core Electrochemical Technology
At the core of the C-UP PtX platform is an electrochemical reactor designed to convert captured carbon species directly into synthesis-ready syngas. Within the reactor, catalytic interfaces enable the selective formation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide while maintaining compatibility with amine-based capture solutions.
