PeroCycle, Glass Futures partner to pilot CO2-to-CO reactor for steel and glass decarbonization
chemengonline.comPeroCycle, a University of Birmingham spin-out, has signed an MoU with Glass Futures to scale its perovskite-based CO2-to-CO technology. The process splits CO2 into CO at lower temperatures, recycling it as a feedstock for steel, glass, and other energy-intensive industries. The pilot reactor, sized at two tonnes, will run through 2027 at Glass Futures' facilities. The goal is to validate catalyst performance under real industrial conditions and scale manufacturing from lab to pilot. If successful, the tech could cut emissions from foundational industries by up to 90%. The partnership addresses a key gap: moving lab-proven carbon utilization into real-world deployment. Glass Futures provides the varied gas supply and furnace infrastructure needed for testing. This is one to watch for anyone tracking industrial decarbonization.
