We capture and convert CO2 directly, from industrial flue gas emissions into sustainable resources, using our innovative technology.
Our technology utilizes an innovative electrolysis-based process to capture and convert CO2 directly from flue gas. By eliminating the need for hydrogen gas, it significantly reduces operational complexity and energy consumption.
We transform CO2 into sustainable and valuable liquid feedstocks such as methanol, formic acid, or components for new materials. In doing so, we redefine CO2 emissions as a resource for circular recycling.
We employ advanced electrodes and electrocatalysts made from organic and non-critical metal compounds, ensuring sustainability and durability.
CarbGen was born from groundbreaking research conducted at Stockholm University in Sweden, led by Dr. Biswanath Das. The project began with a mission to develop advanced electrocatalytic technologies to reduce CO2 emissions and accelerate the green transition of industrial processes.
This research culminated in the development of a single-step power-to-liquid process, enabling the capture and conversion of CO2 directly from flue gas into sustainable and valuable feedstocks such as methanol or formic acid.
The innovation, known as the Carbon Direct Conversion (CDC) method, represents a transformative step toward a sustainable industrial future.
CarbGen’s Carbon Direct Conversion (CDC) method represents a breakthrough in chemical research and engineering. This state-of-the-art, single-step power-to-liquid technology converts CO2 into liquid feedstocks under ambient conditions. Using organic or sustainable metal catalysts and water as the direct proton source, it ensures efficiency and sustainability.
The CDC method offers significant advantages for industrial decarbonization. By enabling on-site processing at the point of CO2 emissions, it eliminates the need for CO2 transport for storage (CCS) or off-site production (CCU), which often rely on energy-intensive hydrogen gas and noble metals.
Our unique approach simplifies project execution, reducing complexity, costs, and lead times, making it a game-changer for industries' decarbonizing journey.

Decarbonizing Industries. One Piece at a Time.
Dec 2024
CarbGen visited our pulp industry partner Rottneros AB at Vallvik's mill to collect flue gas from a recovery boiler outlet. The collected flue gas will be used for validation tests of CarbGen's CCU technology, as part of our ongoing feasibility studies. The project is carried out within Net Zero Industry, a joint venture by Vinnova, Formas and the Swedish Energy Agency.
Oct 2024
CarbGen is granted funding for the project “Flue Gas to Methanol - Electrocatalytic Technology for Integrating CO2 into the Circular Economy”. The project is carried out within Net Zero Industry, a joint venture by Vinnova, Formas and the Swedish Energy Agency.
In collaboration with our partners Rottneros AB, Copper Lavender AB and Stiftelsen Chalmers Industriteknik, CarbGen will conduct feasibility studies to evaluate the unique potential of our novel CCU technology. The project aims to pave the way for industrial scale capturing and recycling of CO2 from industrial flue gas into value-added products like e-methanol, thus turning waste into value and promoting sustainable industries.
Aug 2024
CarbGen's solution was selected by Combient Foundry as one of the top-10 candidates for the business opportunity ''CO2 to solvents" with AstraZeneca.
June 2024
CarbGen presented at the workshop "Advances in Materials and Catalysis for a Sustainable Future" hosted by Stockholm Material Hub, a network connecting academia and enterprises in the Stockholm region. We were delighted to meet with researchers and stakeholders sharing our enthusiasm for novel materials and catalysts.
