Developing modular technology to convert CO emissions into green methanol and sustainable fuels.

• Flagship Project: The eMethanol project in Luverne, Minnesota, is in the detailed design phase.
• Modular Technology: Patented technology delivered in modular shipping containers for efficient manufacturing.
• Market Opportunity: Nearly 200 ethanol plants worldwide are potential candidates for CO conversion.
• Global Demand: Growing demand for green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel.
• Midwest Hub Vision: Long-term vision to establish a Midwest-based e-fuels hub for low-carbon fuels.

CapCO2 Solutions is advancing its flagship eMethanol project in Luverne, Minnesota, aiming to establish a foundation for future large-scale installations. The facility will serve as a proving ground for the company’s technology, enabling rapid deployment across multiple ethanol plants. The company’s patented technology is delivered in modular shipping containers, allowing for streamlined manufacturing at volume. With nearly 200 ethanol plants worldwide seeking to convert CO into lower-carbon products and new revenue streams, the market opportunity is significant.

The funds raised will support the engineering and construction of the first modular eMethanol plant in the United States, developed with ethanol industry partners and global collaborators. This includes advancing ASPEN+ engineering plans, completing a HAZOP safety review, and bringing the Luverne facility to construction readiness. CapCO2 Solutions aims to scale rapidly across ethanol plants, unlocking new revenue streams from CO utilization while meeting growing demand for green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The company’s capital-efficient, modular platform combines scalability, strong market potential, and a path to position the Midwest as a global hub for low-carbon fuels and products.

Company Info

CapCO2 Solutions converts CO₂ emissions from ethanol plants into green methanol, supporting sustainable fuel production.

CapCO2 Solutions focuses on transforming carbon emissions into valuable products, specifically targeting the ethanol industry. The company is developing its flagship eMethanol project in Luverne, Minnesota, which serves as a critical proving ground for its technology. This facility aims to convert CO₂ emissions from ethanol plants into green methanol, a key component in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). By utilizing modular shipping containers, CapCO2 Solutions offers a scalable and efficient solution that can be replicated across nearly 200 ethanol plants worldwide.

The company’s approach avoids the need for CO₂ pipelines or underground sequestration, which often face public resistance and safety concerns. Instead, CapCO2 Solutions collaborates with farmers, rural communities, and renewable power providers to support the transition to low-carbon fuels. The long-term vision includes establishing a Midwest-based e-fuels hub to supply eMethanol and low-carbon ethanol, contributing to the decarbonization of agriculture, transportation, and aviation sectors.
