About ION Clean Energy
ION Clean Energy is a company that specializes in post-combustion carbon capture technologies. It develops and commercializes solvent and process technology to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from large point sources, such as industrial facilities and power plants.
The company's business model is centered around its proprietary ICE-31 solvent technology, which is designed to service customers with high-volume, low-concentration CO2 emissions. ION Clean Energy partners with large corporations, like Chevron, to deploy its technology. The company generates revenue through technology licensing, engineering services, and the sale of its specialized solvents.
ION Clean Energy operates within the environmental services and clean technology sectors, with a focus on industries that have significant carbon footprints and are considered "hard-to-abate." The company is based in Boulder, Colorado, a hub for alternative energy and clean technology development.
