Founded in 2021, Green Carbon Energy Corp. (or GCE) is a biotechnology startup in the climatech space focused on recycling of CO2 captured from emissions to address global climate change.
In the last 200 years, starting about the time when the Industrial Revolution began, human impact on the carbon cycle has increased dramatically. The increased need for energy intensified the emission of CO2 that accumulated in the atmosphere and oceans. Today the concentration of CO2 stands at 423 parts per million by volume (ppmv), an increase of more than 60% as compared to the pre-industrial concentration. The atmospheric accumulation of CO2 is one of the key drivers of global climate change. Restoring the balanced carbon cycle in the Industrial Age is the greatest challenge facing humanity today.
Our unique and proprietary technology converts CO2 into organic compounds for use as fuel and chemical feedstocks. Effective recycling of CO2 can replace fossil-fuel based energy and manufacturing, providing a viable and sustainable solution to reduce atmospheric CO2 and thereby limiting global climate impact.
