Carbon Neutrality
CO2 emissions must be reduced but that alone is NOT
enough. Negative emissions also need to be created

Technology
It is the series of chemical reactions that
utilizes oxidation & reduction of metal
ions to extract pure CO2 & clean
electricity with minimum energy loss

Rhinoflux unlocks the intrinsic value
of resources that could not have
been utilized economically.
More Energy
Value Proposition
CO2 with 99.9%+ purity is captured
without any additional process.
The concentrated CO2 can directly
be stored underground (CCS) or
utilized (CCU) to create value.
CO2 to Value
Energy efficiency never gets lower
when down-sizing it. Rhinoflux
provides small & decentralized
bioenergy plants with customers
to minimize logistic costs.
