October 2024 - The Clean Formula Newsletter - Reimagining Electrolysis for Clean Chemistry at Scale

September was a fruitful month for the Mattiq team. At the World Chemical Forum in Houston, Mattiq Director of Chemistry Jordan Swisher, delivered a presentation on the evolving role of electrochemical reactors in low-carbon chemical production. His talk, "Economically Viable Electrochemical Synthesis: Hydrogen and Beyond," highlighted how Mattiq is pushing the boundaries of traditional electrolyzer systems. 

By re-engineering these systems to produce low-carbon chemicals from organic feedstocks like bio-ethanol, Mattiq is setting the stage for new possibilities in the chemicals sector. For instance, many organic electrochemical transformations have lower oxidation potentials than water-splitting, unlocking electrolysis with reduced electricity requirement. This represents a significant step forward in improving the economics of clean chemical processes.

Concurrently, we proudly welcomed Duane Dickson as Mattiq’s Chief Commercial Officer, a long-time industry trailblazer with over 40 years of experience in the industrial chemical sector. Focusing on building key partnerships with chemical companies, Duane will lead the expansion of our commercial footprint, helping to drive increased innovation in the chemical sector and accelerate our impact.

Looking ahead, we look forward to strengthening our collaborations with industry leaders and scaling sustainable solutions. This includes Mattiq CEO Jeff Erhardt’s participation in the upcoming VERGE ‘24 event on Wednesday, October 30, where he will join a panel on Carbon-Conscious Chemistry: Innovation in the Chemicals Sector.

Missed Jordan Swisher’s presentation at WCF last month? Find the recap below.

• Electrochemical reactors are expanding beyond hydrogen production, where “electrosynthesis” can produce economically attractive, low-carbon chemicals.
• Mattiq is developing systems that can utilize renewable energy to drive novel chemistries, transforming organic feedstocks like bio-ethanol into low-carbon products like acetic acid.
• These advancements can unlock cost-competitive clean chemicals, help the industry reduce its carbon footprint, and reduce the use of harsh chemical reagents.
