OCO Corp

OCOchem’s founding mission is to convert CO2 into a “green” platform organic molecule, using just electricity and water, and do so at a progressively lower and lower cost than the fossil-fueled pathway for making the “grey” version of that molecule. OCOchem’s founding insight is that there are only two chemicals (formic acid/formate and carbon monoxide) that can be made from CO2 and zero-carbon electricity at a lower cost than their fossil counterparts, and that OCOchem would focus on the one chemical that was a stable non-flammable liquid and is generally regarded as safe, formic acid.”. OCOchem joins list of Evergreen Manufacturing Grant recipients, designed to create new jobs in manufacturing, research and development. The OCOchem CEO was a guest speaker on the podcast to discuss nature’s C02 recycling model and the necessity of sweeping, speedy scaling. OCOchem is excited to announce that we have commissioned our first industrial-scale CO2 electrolyzer prototype to make formate and formic acid. OCOchem was honored to be the first start-up or small business in the Pacific Northwest to be awarded the Energy Organization Leadership Award at the 2022 Energy Leadership Achievement Awards, formerly known as the CleanTech Awards. OCOchem wins extension of contract to develop large-scale prototype electrolyzer to make non-corrosive deicing chemical for U.S. AirCapture, OCOchem and partners win $2.93 million U.S.
