Dioxycle recycles carbon emissions into ethylene by using an electrolyzer installed downstream of emission sources and powered by renewable energy. The captured carbon is converted into ethylene, which can be used to produce items like polyester fibers, plastics, pipes, and window frames. Its approach is deployed on-site at industrial emitters, aiming to reduce CO2 while producing a high-value feedstock and revenue from both equipment and ethylene. The goal is to help industries decarbonize by turning waste carbon into affordable ethylene, offering a scalable, practical solution for global emission reductions.

Adani, Dioxycle partner on low-carbon chemical production using renewable power. The initiative will begin with a pilot facility at an Adani Group's site to produce formic acid using captured CO[2] and renewable electricity, followed by a phased scale-up to commercial manufacturing. 10 Jul 2026 Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL) and French company Dioxycle have entered into a long-term partnership to develop and scale low-carbon chemical production in India. The initiative will begin with a pilot facility at an Adani Group's site to produce formic acid using captured carbon dioxide and renewable electricity. Following successful validation, the partners plan to scale the technology for commercial manufacturing. Formic acid and its derivatives are widely used across industries including textiles, agriculture and manufacturing. The project aims to demonstrate how captured carbon emissions can be converted into valuable products using clean energy. The partnership combines Dioxycle's electrically driven chemical manufacturing technology with Adani Group's clean-energy capabilities, infrastructure platform and project execution expertise to create a new model for sustainable and cost-competitive chemical production. "We are proud to pilot India's first formic acid production facility powered entirely by renewable electricity and captured carbon. This partnership with Dioxycle is a testament to how strategic industrial synergies can turn carbon liabilities into sustainable, cost-effective economic assets," said Jeet Adani, Director, Adani Group. "This partnership demonstrates how clean technology and industrial scale can come together to reshape how essential chemicals are produced. India offers a unique combination of renewable energy, manufacturing capability, and ambition. Together with Adani, we aim to build a competitive and scalable model for low-carbon chemical production," said Sarah Lamaison, chief executive officer (CEO) and co-founder of Dioxycle. Beyond formic acid, the partners will explore opportunities to develop a broader portfolio of chemicals used across sectors such as energy, materials, packaging and manufacturing. Many of these sectors continue to rely on fossil-based feedstocks and face increasing pressure to reduce emissions. For the Adani Group, the initiative marks a strategic entry into the chemicals sector, building on its strengths in renewable energy and infrastructure while expanding its portfolio of future-ready businesses.

Dioxycle gives keynote at European commission 2026 Cleantech Conference. On 19th May, Dioxycle's Head of Strategy, Joseph Cordonnier, was in Brussels representing Dioxycle at the 2026 Cleantech Conference. Decarbonising industry is increasingly recognised as key to economic resilience and strategic autonomy. The question is: how? Dioxycle shared why critical chemicals are a strategic priority for European industry, what Dioxycle is building, and why Dioxycle believe Europe needs to focus support on FOAK projects for cleantech where Europe can become the leader. Dioxycle is proof of how innovation leads to scalable next-generation technologies that are cleaner, cheaper and sovereign. A warm thank you to CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency and the Directorate-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA) for the opportunity! Past: May 12 - 2026
L'Oréal signs deal to turn captured CO2 into packaging materials. Cleantech startup Dioxycle announced that it has signed a multi-year offtake partnership with global beauty company L'Oréal to transform captured carbon emissions into sustainable packaging materials. Founded in 2021, French-American Dioxycle specializes in technology that uses a low-temperature electrolyzer to produce sustainable ethylene from recycled carbon emissions, water, and renewable electricity. Ethylene is the world's most widely consumed organic chemical and is integral to industries like textiles, plastics, construction, and furniture. The conventional conversion process uses fossil fuels and is responsible for substantial carbon emissions. According to Dioxcycle, its approach delivers the most cost-efficient ethylene and commodity chemical production process, shifting away from fossil fuels while lowering the industrial carbon footprint. Dr. Sarah Lamaison, CEO and Co-Founder of Dioxyce, said: "By partnering with a global beauty group that demands the highest standards of excellence, we're proving that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand. L'ORÉAL's leadership in adopting scalable climate solutions sets a powerful precedent and brings us closer to a circular carbon-based chemical industry." According to L'Oréal, the new partnership will strengthen its leadership in sustainable material innovation through the introduction of polyethylene made via carbon electrolysis into its packaging portfolio. L'Oréal added that the partnership will support its efforts to advance a circular carbon-based chemical industry, helping the company reduce Scope 3 emissions while maintaining high-performance packaging for its products. The company's "L'Oréal for the Future" sustainability program includes several 2030 packaging goals, including targets to reduce the use of virgin plastic for product packaging by 50%, and to source 50% of materials from either recycled or biobased sources. Jacques Playe, SVP Global Development Packaging, L'Oréal Group said: "As a world leader in beauty, L'Oréal operationalizes future-forward technologies. The conversion of carbon emissions into innovative materials unlocks unprecedented avenues for increasingly desirable, high-performing, and sustainable packaging, paving the way for a new era of environmental footprint reduction for our industry and beyond."
