01 Decarbonising what can't be electrified

Turning pollution
into power.

Fossil fuels power the modern world, and that's not changing any time soon. But with how damaging emissions are, the pressure to act is real, and it needs to be now.

Air2Energy is here to help, using retrofitting technology to keep businesses running while providing them with a sustainable energy source.

Through our retrofit system, we provide a solution that isn't 10 years away. By retrofitting an electrochemical system onto existing gas boilers, we filter CO₂ from the exhaust and convert it into electricity, turning pollution into power.

02 The reality on the ground

You've been told to decarbonise.
You also need to keep running.

Currently, most decarbonisation paths force a choice between remaining profitable and addressing sustainability.

But what if you want both?

Air2Energy is the third path: prioritising both, and allowing our customers to remain operational whilst meeting their targets.

Mining, marine, gas boilers…

30%

of global CO₂ comes from hard-to-abate sectors where electrification isn't currently possible.

03 The technology

At Air2Energy, we are making pollution an asset.

Our technology and chemical process are what make our solution innovative. Our solution involves filtering CO₂ instead of letting it escape and pollute the atmosphere, then converting that waste into energy for the building to utilise.

01 · FILTER

By attaching the system to the exhaust of the gas boiler, CO₂ is filtered with little to no operational changes throughout the whole process.

02 · CONVERT

An electrochemical reaction converts the captured CO₂ into usable electricity.

03 · POWER

The building is then given clean electricity to use however it needs, ultimately reducing energy costs and Scope 1 emissions.

04 Where it works

Are you a building that runs on gas? Then we are perfect for you.

Building owners and commercial property groups are our primary market, with NABERS-rated buildings still using gas as our current priority.

If you feel this suits you, reach out to us now to get chatting on how Air2Energy can help your business.

But this is just our current plan. Where will we be in 10 years?

In the future we are looking to expand into the manufacturing and mining industries, and eventually into the marine industry. But for now, as we prototype and pilot our designs, we are targeting the gas boiler industry.

05 In the field

Our field prototype is operational.

Operational field prototype

Out of the lab and running in the real world.

Our field prototype is now installed and operating on site at UTS. It's the first time Air2Energy's technology has run outside the lab, under real-world conditions.

Every hour it runs gives us live performance data that feeds straight back into our design, bringing us one step closer to our first commercial pilots.
