CO2 Fixing Polycarbonate (FCO2PC) technology produces high performance polycarbonate using CO2 captured from factory combustion flue gas. This non-petroleum-based material significantly reduces carbon emissions. The FCO2PC process is energy efficient and all chemicals in the process are nontoxic, recycled and generate no harmful pollutants.

As the global polycarbonate market size continues to increase, the use of captured CO2 as a chemical raw material to produce polymers has an obvious ecological advantage over conventional polymers. The entire process of FCO2PC is close looped, zero waste and nontoxic. The technological breakthrough is the sophisticated catalysts used in carefully designed quantities and with unique physical properties. It solves the common environmental problems in traditional processes, avoids toxic chemical feedstock, and recycles all solvents and wastewater. In partnership with Chi Mei Corporation, FCO2PC is undergoing field testing and is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 17%, or 178,500 metric tons annually.

FCO2PC was invented to solve challenges in both carbon capture and storage in one process. It is a production process that uses the captured CO2 from combustion flue gas as raw material and through esterification and transesterification, producing polycarbonate for commercial use. FCO2PC matches BPA polycarbonate in quality and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including safety helmets, phone cases, headlamp covers, eye protection and more.
