Braskem is working with the Colorado start-up New Iridium to advance technology that converts carbon dioxide into useful chemicals. New Iridium’s platform is based on photocatalysis, and it has been looking to make carboxylic acids. Braskem has long been active in chemical production with a low carbon footprint.
