R&D Stage

The challenge

The problem this technology addresses

CO₂ capture from ambient air in urban areas with high atmospheric pollution; capture directly from high-emission sources — thermal power stations, factory chimneys, industrial ventilation systems. Deployable at industrial sites or in urban areas.

ARBOK solution

How the ARBOK system creates value

EXO2 is an innovative technology for removing carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from the atmosphere. The system operates using high-purity technical salt (96–98%) and electricity, which can be supplied either from the grid or from an independent energy source. Unlike many existing solutions, EXO2 captures CO₂ not only from ambient air in urban areas but also directly from high-emission sources such as thermal power stations, factory chimneys, or industrial ventilation systems. What sets EXO2 apart is its ability to turn carbon capture into a commercially profitable process: alongside CO₂ removal it produces chlorine gas (Cl₂), collected into industrial-grade cylinders, and sodium carbonate or bicarbonate (Na₂CO₃ / NaHCO₃), produced depending on the type and source of CO₂ input. Both chlorine and soda are well-established commodities in the global chemical market with consistent demand, while EXO2 contributes directly to climate change mitigation and is compatible with frameworks such as the Paris Agreement.

The system consumes high-purity technical salt (96–98%) and electricity from the grid or a proprietary green generator, using a proprietary salt crystallization and energy generation system developed by the EXO2 team. CO₂ is captured from air or industrial exhaust and converted into sodium carbonate or bicarbonate, with chlorine gas released and bottled as a co-product. The entire process is clean, closed-loop, requires no exotic materials, and has zero emissions.
