SpiralWave

A Silicon Valley breakthrough in renewable fuels? SpiralWave has demonstrated what it claims is a groundbreaking approach to renewable fuel production: converting CO2 directly from air into methanol in a single step. Unlike traditional methods that rely on multiple conversion processes like carbon capture and electrolysis, their microchip-based reactor simplifies everything into one plasma-driven system. Backed by SOSV’s IndieBio accelerator, SpiralWave’s innovation could reshape decentralised SAF production. Methanol is already gaining traction in aviation, with companies like HIF Global and Metafuels exploring its potential for efficiency gains.

🌍 Heading to #TechCrunchDisrupt2024? Stop by our booth (F9) to meet the team, explore our latest demos, and see how we’re advancing carbon removal and direct air utilization. Together, let’s push the boundaries of #ClimateTech and make a real impact. We’d love to connect and discuss how our work in #CDR, #CCUS, and sustainable #Methanol is shaping a greener future! 📍 Booth F9 | San Francisco #ClimateChange #ColdPlasma

Excited to share that TechCrunch featured SpiralWave during #TechCrunchDisrupt2024! Our #coldplasma technology is the world’s first to convert CO₂ directly into methanol fuel without capturing it first, setting new standards for efficiency. Starting with Nanobeam and Microbeam, we’re now developing systems that could scale direct air and fluegas utilization up to gigatons of CO₂ annually—a big step toward scalable, sustainable and clean energy transformation. Huge thanks to the SOSV and IndieBio team, especially Po Bronson, for their incredible support!

Super excited to watch my startup SpiralWave at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield Monday morning. Computers once relied on punchcards to input, output, and store data. Then it moved to magnetic tape. Discs were once floppy. Only when we transitioned to microchip integrated circuits, Silicon Valley was born. Chips scale. Impressive as it has been, climate tech has really been in its punchcard and magnetic tape era. All these decarbonization technologies rely on membranes, chemicals, electrolytes, catalysts ... one has to ask: Can't we just do this with electronics? Spiralwave is the first company in the world to demonstrate the production of liquid hydrocarbon fuel, straight from air in a single step. To achieve this -- where others have not -- it took a paradigm shift: use only electronic components controlled by a chip. Solve it with a chip. Putting climate chemistry onto a chip makes it easier to manufacture, reduces the electrical load dramatically, and is inherently distributable. Climate tech is literally about to enter its chip era.

Much appreciation to SOSV's feature on their Climate Summit event. Evolving the Carbon Capture and Utilization industry from a capture-then-convert approach to a convert-then-capture approach - which brings the cost of the capture part to zero.

Good Morning! We are truly grateful for our partners, IndieBio, SOSV. Together, we are building the next generation of fuel production, from direct air and flue gas, in a single step. At room temp, and atmospheric pressure. Join us to reverse climate change!
