OCO is commercializing the solution to half of the world's man-made greenhouse gas emissions that come from less than 8,000 industrial point sources. OCO is a start-up commercializing proprietary technology developed over the last 10 years to electro-catalytically convert low-value carbon dioxide waste gas into a high value and sustainable chemical and hydrogen-rich fuel, formic acid, using intermittent renewable electricity. OCO's process is highly carbon negative and much less expensive than existing fossil-based processes and feedstocks. OCO is pleased to be working with the Department of Energy, Det Norske Veritas, Montana State University and South Florida University to commercialize this breakthrough technology.

OCOchem designs, develops, and operates modular electrochemical technology to make green hydrogen energy in an energy-dense and non-flammable liquid hydrogen carrier molecule, formic acid, and other formate products. OCOchem makes formic from CO2, water, and energy. These are the same inputs plants and trees use to grow, but OCOchem has developed a machine, called the Carbon Flux Electrolyzer, to convert these inputs instead directly into useful chemicals that can store and move green hydrogen. The result is a greener, safer and lower cost way of storing and moving distributed hydrogen that can help businesses to reduce the carbon intensity and cost of their operations.

This year, 79% of school districts across the country are expecting funding cuts. Last year, 77% of school districts across the country experienced funding cuts. We’ve seen 120 school districts move to four-day school weeks to save on transportation and utility costs. Here in California, a survey found that nearly half of all school districts last year cut or reduced art, drama and music programs. As parents, we understand the seriousness of this challenge. We’re experiencing it first-hand. As education veterans, we know the fundraising methods of the past aren’t up to this challenge. As Internet industry veterans, we believe we can bring innovation to an area that seriously needs it. That’s why we created Schoola. Let’s make fundraising easy. Let’s keep the money in the community and help local businesses and schools benefit each other. Let’s stop finding space to store cans of popcorn and figuring out ways to keep hundreds of tubs of cookie dough refrigerated. Let’s help parents participate by saving money on the things they already do. Let’s get started today. Olivela Inc is a subsidiary of Schoola Inc and the two entities have a commercial relationship.
