We are a Physical AI company pioneering a new form of artificial intelligence that is capable of perceiving, understanding, and reasoning about the world. We solve real world problems using the power of AI to reveal the world’s hidden patterns and behaviors that escape our perception. Our vision is to encode the entire physical world. To achieve this, we are building Newton™, the first foundation model that can understand the physical world. Newton fuses multimodal temporal data – including signals from accelerometers, gyroscopes, radars, cameras, microphones, thermometers and other environmental sensors – with natural language to unlock insights about the physical world in real time.

Utility converts and concentrates valuable streams of hydrogen and syngas from off gases. Our scientists have developed a cleaner and more efficient alternative to other energy and carbon intensive methods. We solve many decarbonization challenges for hard to abate industries while complementing existing operations. We offer several products developed for a range of applications in heavy mobility, biogas, steel, refining and petrochem. Our highly-flexible products effectively and efficiently convert a variety of gas inputs into valuable, high-purity gas streams for reuse as energy, feedstock or fuel. Our products are built on our proprietary, patented technology platform, eXERO(TM), which simply takes electricity out of the equation. Unlike other technologies that rely on renewable energy to be green, eXERO(TM) utilizes companies’ onsite gases to create high-purity streams. The eXERO(TM) technology platform excels at scalable, clean hydrogen and syngas production as well as ammonia cracking solutions made for energy transition and not force-fit to it.

WHAT WE DO We make filters and rotary contactor machines that capture and remove CO2, a greenhouse gas, from industrial emissions and the air. Our proven carbon capture technology is based on unique solid adsorbents — and it’s scalable, eco-friendly, and commercially available today. OUR UNIQUE APPROACH TO CARBON CAPTURE Based on environmentally friendly solid sorbent technology, our carbon capture and removal solutions offer companies in heavy emitting, hard-to-decarbonize industries a commercially viable way to capture and remove CO2 emissions. The CO2 we capture is concentrated to pipeline-grade purity, which can be safely transported and stored underground or used to make other products.
