Building prosperity by recycling greenhouse gas emissions

Onsite recycling of waste emissions to tackle climate change  

To avoid the worst impacts of a changing environment, countries, cities and businesses across the world are striving to meet global targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.    

Recycling waste emissions is one innovative way to reach that goal. Paul Addo, co-founder of SeeO2 Energy, is developing a patented technology that converts greenhouse gas emissions at industrial facilities to fuels — and businesses in Alberta’s oil patch, Europe and elsewhere are taking note.    

We are based in Canada, and we are pushing to be a company that benefits Canada.

Patented technology with global potential 

ATCO, an energy and utility company, took an early interest in the concept, and building that private partnership helped convince Addo and his co-founder, Beatriz Molero Sanchez, to launch the startup, which now has pilot projects with different industrial players.    

The company’s patented technology includes an electrochemical process that uses less energy and less expensive materials than those currently on the market. The process transforms carbon dioxide — a greenhouse gas — into useful industrial gases like carbon monoxide and syngas, which is used in plastic, chemical and metal processing.
