At Rushnu, we’re building a profitable pathway to decarbonize the chemical industry (no carbon credits). Rushnu’s CarbonCatalyzeTM process converts waste gas streams (e.g. biogenic CO2 from biogas — WWTPs, landfills & ag sites) and salt (e.g., from desalination units) into Cl2 chemicals (< cost vs. chlor-alkali), CH4 (@ no cost to host), and carbonated minerals (= carbon-neutral process). Rushnu’s CarbonCatalyzeTM solution captures CO2 from point sources such as biogas and fuel gas and reacts it with salt using our proprietary thermocatalytic process to produce chlorine-based chemicals. The system reduces electricity consumption by over 60% and lowers production costs by more than 70% compared to conventional chlor-alkali methods. By producing chemicals directly at the site of demand, CarbonCatalyzeTM also eliminates most transportation and storage needs, cutting emissions and improving safety while delivering reliable, low-cost supply.
