Liquid Light develops and licenses process technology to make major chemicals from low-cost, globally abundant carbon dioxide. Customers profit from a lower cost of production, while harnessing their current waste stream; reduce their dependence on cyclically-priced petroleum feedstocks; and can reduce their carbon footprint. Liquid Light's first process is for the production of ethylene glycol (MEG), with a $27 billion annual market. Results consistent with cost-advantaged production have been validated at lab scale for key parts of our process; and the process scales in a predictable manner, akin to world-scale chlor-alkali plants. Liquid Light's core technology is centered on low-energy catalytic electrochemistry to convert carbon dioxide to multi-carbon chemicals. It is backed by over 100 patents and applications, and extends to multiple chemicals with large existing markets, including ethylene glycol, propylene, isopropanol, and acetic acid. The company is headquartered in New Jersey. Our core technology team comes from DARPA, DOE, Berkeley, and Princeton. We also have the support of board members and advisers from the mainstream chemical industry, and leading experts in catalysis and carbon dioxide utilization. Liquid Light’s investors include VantagePoint Capital Partners, BP Ventures, Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital, Sustainable Conversion Ventures, and Osage University Partners.
