(July 16th, 2025) Wilmington, Delaware – Lectrolyst is taking carbon conversion to the next level. Backed by a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Technology Transition award, we’ve teamed up with Johnston Engineering to design and launch a revolutionary 100 kW Carbon Conversion (C2) Capsule powered by electrolysis. This exciting leap forward comes on the heels of Lectrolyst’s 10 kW demonstration, a record scale for this technology.  

The cutting-edge C2 Capsule is designed for plug-and-play deployment at industrial emission point sources where it will use clean electricity to transform carbon emissions into high-value products like ethylene and acetate. These molecules can be used as critical building blocks for plastics, detergents, pharmaceuticals, and other important consumer products. 

But we’re not stopping there. 

Additional modules can be co-deployed with the C2 Capsule to convert acetate into food via electro-agriculture. Compared to traditional farming approaches, our electro-agriculture technology can be used to produce food crops and protein from CO₂ without the need for light while using: 

• 88% less land

• 60% less fertilizer

• 95% less water

• 0 pesticides

This award-winning electro-agriculture technology would allow food to be produced virtually anywhere, from urban food deserts to sub-Saharan Africa to deep space, as recently validated by NASA in the Deep Space Food Challenge. 

With a modular, stackable design, the C2 Capsule can be easily numbered up to meet emission challenges at any scale. Powered by Lectrolyst’s patented carbon conversion technology, each unit packs in 13.5 m² of stack active area, integrated liquid storage, product analysis tools, safety systems, and more. 

As we near the completion of the breakthrough design, we’re actively seeking forward-thinking deployment partners to help deliver the C2 Capsule and shape the future of carbon conversion.  

Let’s transform pollution into solutions – together.
