About Oxylus Energy


Oxylus Energy is a novel climatetech company focused on providing real solutions that can scale. Oxylus Energy is a public benefit corporation founded in 2023 with a mission to displace fossil fuels through the direct conversion of CO2 into carbon-neutral fuels and chemicals. Oxylus is developing cutting edge CO2 electrolysis technology for the direct production of green methanol, reducing the energy requirement and enabling both onsite fuel production and carbon conversion. This solution has the potential to provide an economic pathway to decarbonization for the hard-to-abate sectors of aviation, shipping, and petrochemicals which are responsible for ~11% of global GHG emissions.


Oxylus Energy is located in New Haven, CT and is supported by top climate technology funders including Toyota Ventures, Azolla Ventures, Earth Foundry, and Connecticut Innovations. Joining us now is an opportunity to play a fundamental role in the development of our team and technology so that we can bring our transformative solution to market.
