Carbon Upcycling Technologies, previously JRE Petroleum Services, has developed a technology that captures CO₂, combines it with graphite and converts it into graphene. The technology required is small and easily implemented by producers with high CO₂ emissions from a variety of industries. The graphene product created from the process is a brand new family of nanoparticle. The uses for graphene are continually being developed and represent significant potential.
Carbon Upcycling Technologies process aims to convert CO₂ into graphene, an allotrope of carbon. To accomplish this conversion, a mill reactor is used to process CO₂ and graphite into the high-quality graphene. The feed CO₂ may be in a gaseous state or in a dry-ice state. The resulting reaction with graphite produces carboxylated layers of graphene that can be used for adding mechanical strength to cement or for use in water-purification membranes. While many GHG reduction methods involve storage or conversion into another fuel—only delaying CO₂ emission—this process binds the CO₂ into the graphene structure, serving to create a new family of nanoparticle.
