“CarbonBridge isn’t about collecting carbon credits. We’re creating an alternative fuels company that will eliminate 1.5 gigatons of carbon emissions from fossil fuels by 2050, at latest, enabling economies to grow and raise living standards without harming our climate.”
Global maritime shipping accounts for up to 3% of CO2 emissions but over 12% of greenhouse gas pollution due to its reliance on bunker oil, a notoriously dirty fuel. The bunker oil market is estimated to reach $164.9 billion by 2030, up 50% from 2020, meaning that shipping emissions will increase significantly without a cleaner alternative.
CarbonBridge (an ARPAe awardee) pivoted to biotech in 2023, and converts methane to methanol, using microbes in a proprietary bioreactor with a direct-gas system for mass transfer without bubbles, pressure, agitators, etc. This delivers the lowest carbon-intensity methanol at the lowest cost.
