cyclize

Almost all of our everyday products contain carbon. Carbon that is currently still extracted from fossil fuels in the chemical industry in a linear process. At the end of their life cycle, only a few products are recycled. The majority of products end up in landfill sites or are incinerated. Worldwide, only around 9% of all plastic waste is recycled.

We are changing this with Cyclize.

Cyclize defossilizes the chemical industry by recycling mixed plastic waste and CO2. We replace fossil feedstocks such as natural gas to produce synthesis gas (a gas mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen) based on non-fossil feedstocks by using mixed waste and CO2 as feedstock. This synthesis gas serves as a basic building block for higher-value chemicals and is used to produce plastics, methanol, hydrogen and e-fuels. In this way, we enable a circular carbon economy. We offer the chemical industry a solution to become resource-independent and secure European production sites.

„We are no longer letting carbon out of the system. The future belongs to the circular economy for waste and CO2, so Cyclize enables independence from fossil resources and thus also Net-Zero.“

Maike Lambarth, CEO & Co-Founder of Cyclize

  • Low-Carbon Basic Materials

    Basic materials such as steel, cement, chemicals and lime account for almost half of Germany’s industrial emissions. This poster sets out the options for decarbonizing their production. Five cross-cutting levers for industrial decarbonization are described: direct electrification, material circularity, energy efficiency, green hydrogen and PtX, and CCU/CCS. A case study then walks through the options…

  • Carbon Capture

    This two-page poster provides an overview of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) value chain and its associated technologies. CO₂ can be captured from industrial point sources or directly from the air. Then, it can be used in industrial processes or permanently stored to prevent its release into the atmosphere. The poster compares three…

  • Hydrogen

    The potential contribution of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier to industrial decarbonization is outlined in this concise knowledge poster. It explains why hydrogen must be produced through dedicated processes and compares the main hydrogen production pathways through the commonly used color code. The poster then focuses on green hydrogen, presenting the main electrolysis technologies:…
