The #chemicalindustry, responsible for 30% of global industrial emissions, faces an existential dilemma: decarbonize or decline. Traditional carbon capture tech is expensive and logistically intense—$600-$1,000 per ton capacity, and CO₂ transport up to $30 per ton (Global CCS Institute). #Startups like Turnover Labs are rethinking #CO2 as an asset, not waste, transforming emissions into useful carbon monoxide. (We dive into this in our latest #DeepTechBriefing. Go here: [https://lnkd.in/d_U-b8YT]) Can innovations like these make “decarbonization” financially viable for an industry with razor-thin margins? Or is the sector too rooted in convention to embrace radical change?? #Decarbonization #DeepTech #SustainableChemistry #CO2 #hardtech #tech #techinnovation #vcs #startup Image credit: Visual Capitalist
Turnover Labs and Marissa Beatty do great work. So nice to see them getting this kind of recognition!

12moThanks for the amazing callout!! You’ve hit it right on the head - moving and purifying CO2 isn’t cheap, and pushes costs outside of chemical industry margins.
