OCOchem is commercializing an environmentally and economically sustainable CO2 transformation technology that converts carbon and renewable electricity into e-formic, a sustainably made form of the liquid organic chemical known as formic acid.

Formate is the primary product of OCO’s Carbon FluX Electrolyzer™. Formates in their salt or acid form (i.e. formic acid) are naturally occurring molecules which have been made for over 100 million years by ants as a bactericide to preserve food.

OCOchem is a clean-tech start-up commercializing electrocatalytic technology that converts captured carbon dioxide, water and renewable electricity into the green hydrogen carrier and platform molecule known as formic acid.
