Direct Air-to-Ethylene Conversion for sustainable Aviation Fuels$2.0Mvalue2026start2029end

This project is mostly related to technology research and development.

CHEMICAL MANUFACTURING THROUGH ELECTROCHEMICAL CARBON DIOXIDE UTILIZATION$1.4Mvalue2020start2023end

This project is mostly related to technology research and development.

Advanced Material and System Development towards Pilot Scale CO2 Electrolyzers$716Kvalue2023start2026end

The goal of this Project is to develop membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) at scale, comprised of advanced ionomers which allow for high efficiency and durability in an optimized CO2 electrolyzer architecture. This Project leverages progress made at the University of Toronto (UofT) and Simon Fraser University (SFU) in device and material development. At UofT, tremendous progress has been made in terms of system, cell, and component design. At SFU, expertise in the creation of new materials and extensive material screening and characterization for CO2 electrolyzers has allowed creation of a hi

High-purity chemicals from air at demonstration scale$150Kvalue2025start2026end

CERT Systems has developed a technology for conversion of carbon dioxide captured from air into ethylene. In this project, CERT will demonstrate a fully integrated system for converting atmospheric CO2 into high purity ethylene that can be upgraded into fuels or polymers.

Developing a go-to-market strategy for CO2 conversion technology$75.0Kvalue2024start2025end

CERT Systems has developed technology to convert carbon dioxide emissions into high value chemicals such as ethylene. In this project, CERT Systems will work with a business development expert to identify potential customers and craft a go-to-market strategy for its sustainable products.

Scale up of an air-to-chemicals process$75.0Kvalue2024start2025end

CERT Systems has developed a technology for conversion of carbon dioxide captured from air into ethylene. This Air-to-Chemicals (A2C) process involved ambient CO2 being captured in a hydroxide solution as liquid carbonate. This liquid carbonate is fed directly into CERT's proprietary electrolyzer which converts the captured CO2 into ethylene using electricity and water as feedstocks. In this project, CERT will demonstrate the scalability of its process by adapting technology demonstrated in 5 cm2 reactors to electrolyzer cells of 200 cm2. These cells will additionally be stacked to further in

Japan MNE: CO2 conversion technology co-development.$75.0Kvalue2025start2026end

As part of the Japan Corporate Co-Innovation Program, the project “CNCORE” will focus on collaboration with Japanese partner to explore opportunities to enter the Japanese market with CO2 conversion technology.

ICAP 2025 –Germany– International Co-Innovation Action Plan$50.0Kvalue2025start2026end

This International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project will prepare the firm to enter into future international co-innovation work in Germany.
