The target for achieving Net-Zero is only 2050, but corporations, industries and institutions must immediately prepare strategies to achieve Net-Zero compliance. This is because they generally need banking services, insurance, etc. who are immediately enforcing these Net-Zero compliance requirements for their product services — and it’s a global movement that will sooner or later reach us.

The core of Net-Zero is twofold, namely do the best for carbon reduction, and remove the rest for carbon that is no longer possible to reduce.

Including carbon reduction is energy saving activities, the use of carbon neutral energy etc. Meanwhile, carbon removal is an effort to absorb carbon emissions that are still out, especially with plants and with technology.

These are the three layers of technology that we have prepared for these carbon reduction and removal. The first is agricultural technology from upstream to downstream, the difference is that we focus on being able to plant on critical, very critical land and even deserts. Because only carbon absorption by plants on previously uncultivated land is what counts as real carbon removal.

The second technology is carbon capture using cryogenic technology and a membrane reactor, then using the captured carbon for microalgae cultivation. The third technology is to use the captured carbon to directly produce fuel, especially gasoline.

A number of technologies developed by our research network include the first layer of Liquid Nano Clay (LNC) technology, the second layer is cryocooling, membrane reactor and photobioreactor. While the third layer is the direct synthesis of fuel (gasoline) from CO2 using a combination of Reverse Water-Gas Shift (RWGS) and Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FPS) processes.

From these three layers, two Net-Zero approaches can be carried out simultaneously, namely carbon reduction resulting from the use of carbon neutral fuels produced by these three processes. While carbon removal is achieved from carbon capture through plants directly in the first layer, as well as carbon capture by cryocoolers or membrane reactors for layers two and three.

Corporations, industries or institutions that need our assistance or technology for their Net-Zero strategy, please contact us. Likewise, researchers and innovators related to these three layers of technology can joint effort with us.
