Ohmium International, a manufacturer of high-efficiency modular Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, has announced a new collaboration with RenewCO₂ aimed at accelerating electrochemical CO₂ conversion to commercial deployment. 

The partnership combines RenewCO₂’s patented eCUT-FA catalyst technology with Ohmium’s Lotus PEM electrolyzer platform and manufacturing capabilities. Together, the companies say the integration could significantly speed up the path from CO₂-to-chemicals innovation to industrial-scale production. 

At the center of the announcement is a shared ambition: turning captured carbon dioxide into a usable feedstock for fuels and chemicals, powered by clean electricity and scalable electrolysis. 

“RenewCO₂ has developed world-class processes for converting CO₂ into valuable chemicals and fuels. We envision Ohmium's manufacturing expertise and electrolyzer platform enabling us to scale rapidly. Together, we're transforming CO₂ from liability to resource and accelerating this industrial shift,” said Anders Laursen, RenewCO₂ CEO. 

Ohmium CEO Dr. Markus Tacke emphasized the broader industrial implications of the partnership: “Hydrogen and CO₂ are fundamental building blocks for the next generation of organic chemicals. Ohmium’s strength lies in delivering scalable, cost-effective green hydrogen through advanced PEM electrolysis, while RenewCO₂ brings deep expertise in the electrochemical conversion of CO₂ into valuable chemical intermediates.  

"We believe that together, our technologies can form a powerful, integrated platform to electrify chemical production, unlock circular carbon pathways, and accelerate the commercialization of sustainable fuels and materials.” 

The collaboration has also drawn attention from industry experts.  

Masaaki Toma, Chair of the Japanese Formic Acid Working Group in the Consortium for CO₂ Capture and Utilization organized by AIST and a veteran of Sumitomo Chemicals, highlighted its potential impact: “It is wonderful to see this joint work. Coupling Ohmium's highly efficient and modular electrolyzer technology with RenewCO₂'s advanced CO₂ electrolysis processes brings to the industry what I have been excited to see for some time.  

"Efficiently generated Formic Acid can be highly effective in lowering both chemical industry carbon intensity as well as providing an easy-to-use method for energy transportation.” 

At its core, RenewCO₂’s eCUT-FA system converts waste CO₂ into chemical products compatible with existing industrial processes. Paired with Ohmium’s PEM electrolyzer technology, the companies say the combined platform could enable large-scale CO₂-to-product manufacturing—helping electrify chemical production while reducing dependence on fossil carbon inputs.
