Carbyon’s Challenge
Carbyon develops equipment to filter CO2 from the air, to be stored underground or converted it into alternatives to fossil fuel-based products.
The Dutch company is seen as one of most promising technology providers for large-scale carbon removal. Founded by Hans De Neve in 2019, Carbyon uses a patented, ultra-fast capturing technique to reach an industry leading low cost-per-ton of CO2 captured.
Carbyon was determined to make their process for direct air capture of CO2 more energy-efficient. They asked for ExoMatter’s support in identifying inorganic materials with an energy demand below a certain limit.
Saving Time in the Lab with ExoMatter
ExoMatter provided quantum-chemical simulation data for almost 5,000 materials, leveraging the result of ~10 Mio. CPU-hours by scientists around the world. Machine Learning was used for solubility calculations.

“As researchers, we spend uncountable hours on searching the literature for materials candidates, gathering data on them, and testing them in the lab. We were impressed to see the data filtered from 1M+ materials in one place, and I particularly liked the direct integration of literature and patent references.”
90 new materials candidates were identified, saving Carbyon 6-12 months of laboratory work. Some of the identified materials had an energy demand 6-7 times lower than the defined maximum value.

“We were impressed to receive first results less than a month after the kick-off. This is a tremendous way to speed up materials research.”
