Circularity Fuels

Today marks an important milestone for Circularity Fuels--we have rounded out the trifecta of funding for deep tech startups. Last year, we received funding from two important sources for deep tech startups: customers and venture capital (h/t DCVC and Eduardo Mufarej). Today, we received funding from the third important funding source: non-dilutive government grants. After our novel CO2 catalytic technology was reviewed by top scientists and engineers around the country, we received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to further scale our system to capture and convert CO2 to valuable hydrocarbons. More fossil-free hydrocarbons on the way! Be a part of the story:

165 years ago today, the first successful oil well ushered in the era of energy abundance. Today the world runs off of hydrocarbon molecules coming from oil and gas wells all around the globe, but burning those hydrocarbons converts carbon that used to be stored safely underground to carbon dioxide in the air that warms the planet. Circularity Fuels is making those same hydrocarbon molecules from atmospheric carbon and green hydrogen so we can store and transport clean energy using the same fossil fuel distribution network.

Grateful for TomKat’s support as we demo our next-gen carbon capture and conversion technology.

Circularity Fuels is making personnel changes! We say farewell to Tara DuBridge, thank her for her incredible (and fun!) work over the summer, and wish her well at her PhD at Princeton University. We welcome Srivatsav Josuyla who will be joining us as a mechanical engineering co-op from the University of Florida. Srivatsav has a strong background in design, analysis, and optimization of complex engineering systems, including hydrogen fuel cells and railway components. We are excited to have him contribute to the challenging task ahead! Interested in having fun while building meaningful products just like the picture below? Keep an eye out for upcoming job postings including the next co-op intern class--coming soon!

We're thrilled to welcome Tara DuBridge to Circularity Fuels as our first summer intern! Tara recently graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering with a concentration in Energy and the Environment. Tara brings outstanding research experience that aligns well with our focus on making sustainable fuels and chemicals from atmospheric carbon. At UC Berkeley, she has worked in Professor Jeff Reimer's lab, synthesizing and characterizing metal-organic frameworks for carbon capture applications. Tara has also researched catalysis through the National Science Foundation (NSF) REU program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As the Algae Team Lead of the UC Berkeley Biofuels Technology Club, she has hands-on experience building novel reactors. Her skills with catalyst synthesis and building reactors will be invaluable over the summer. We're excited for Tara to join our team this summer before pursuing her PhD at Princeton University!
