Formerly dba Oco Inc., OCOchem is developing and scaling patented and proprietary technology that electrochemically uses carbon dioxide to store energy in the chemical bonds of formates and formic acid. The primary objective of the firm's management is to tackle and achieve convertion of CO2 into a green platform organic molecule. The effort is to accomplish that objective using just electricity and water, and to do so at a progressively lower and lower cost than the fossil-fueled pathway for making the grey version of that molecule. Effective implemtation would have the effect of invertingthe current economic incentives to extract, combust and release the carbon embodied in the buried ancient solar fuels now known as fossil fuels.
