Listen to our conversation with Gerard Campeau, CO Chief Technical Officer of UR One inc. located in Ontario.

UR One Inc. is a start-up that manufacturers equipment that captures and purifies fossil fuel emission from up to MW power plants. Removing oxides from fossil fuel combustion by capturing emissions containing CO, CO2, NOx, SO and SO2 from the emissions exhaust.

Based on air purification technology utilizing electricity and recycled water, this process called Carbon Dissociation Technology (CDST) separates the Carbon, Sulphur, Nitrogen from oxides to end up with  Carbon, Nitrogen and Sulphur in elemental form that can be resold as a value added commodity.

Eliminating the need to utilize chemical absorbents, and membranes, removing the need to sequester or store liquid carbon dioxide underground.  Instead CDST technology collects these valuable materials as Carbon Black, Fullerenes, Sulphurs through this separation process offering a simpler and less expansive solution for purifying emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. The one step system eliminates all pre-treatment steps required in traditional CCS and CCUS technologies, further reducing the CAPEX and OPEX costs.

We are creating a new conversation to focus on the Carbon Market, what does it look like when Carbon becomes a central focus of our economy.

The cost of emitting Carbon is going up, and the commoditization of Carbon as a useable product is on the rise and itself leading to a host of new opportunities and market.

Business able to cater to this changing market with low carbon products will have a competitive advantage and take away market share from those that ignore this changing reality.

The financial market will equally be impacting by this new focus on Carbon, as investors seek to identify where the stranded assets risk will be and attempt to move substantial amounts of funds to new low carbon opportunities.

The risks are many but so are the opportunities.
