🚀 Thrilled to support the groundbreaking innovations at Emvolon, where the future of green fuels is being reimagined! 🚀 In 2023, LDV Partners proudly led the seed round for Emvolon, an innovative company born from the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at MIT. Founded by Emmanuel Kasseris, and Leslie Bromberg, Emvolon is revolutionizing how we view internal combustion engines, turning them into modular chemical synthesis plants. 🔧 Emvolon’s transformative technology repurposes standard combustion engines—like those found in cars and trucks—into modular, deployable chemical processing units. One standout application is the production of green methanol, a versatile hydrocarbon fuel with immense potential to decarbonize industries like maritime shipping and aviation. By harnessing methane emissions from landfills and agriculture—methane that would otherwise contribute to global warming—Emvolon is significantly reducing environmental impact. 🌍 The impact is profound: Emvolon’s technology converts methane from landfills and agricultural sources into valuable products like green methanol, preventing this potent greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere. By tapping into underutilized methane resources, Emvolon is transforming environmental liabilities into sustainable fuel solutions. 🛳 ✈ Methanol’s ease of storage and transport makes it a prime candidate for use in hard-to-decarbonize sectors such as maritime shipping and aviation. With its modular design and mass-produced hardware, Emvolon offers efficient conversion at scale, especially in collaboration with ARPA-E's GREENWELLS program. Why is this crucial now? Recent studies reveal that methane emissions from U.S. landfills are 40% higher than previously estimated, posing a significant environmental challenge. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, accelerates climate change at a pace faster than we previously understood. Join us in driving the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable world! #GreenFuels #Methanol #Decarbonization #Maritime #Aviation #SAF #Emissions #Sustainability #Emvolon #ClimateTech #WasteManagement #CircularEconomy #MethaneReduction #CleanEnergy #AgTech #ClimateAction sources: 1) https://lnkd.in/g2H8CFtW 2) https://lnkd.in/dPnJEkSE 3) https://lnkd.in/dB8g6i2e
