The carbon dioxide utilization start-up RenewCO2 has spun out from Rutgers University with $2 million in seed funding. The firm says its iron- and nickel-phosphide electrocatalysts can convert CO2 into molecules such as formic acid, ethylene glycol, and furandiol.

RenewCO2 wants to deliver systems to its first customers as early as 2025.
