Making Carbon Reduction Economically Viable

Founded in Daejeon in December 2023, Carbience exists for one purpose: solving the climate crisis through carbon capture and utilization — by making CO₂ conversion economically inevitable, not just environmentally right.

7 PATENT ASSETS · INCL. PCT
3 RESEARCH PARTNERS — ENBION Inc. · KRICT · HNU

We build CCU chemistry that survives a spreadsheet.

Carbon conversion without economics is only a demonstration project. Four design rules make our technology commercially viable:
<110°C
Lower temperature
vs 120–200°C conventional routes
<7 bar
Lower pressure
vs 24–50 bar — no extreme pressure-rated equipment
10×
Reusable catalysts
Organic amines — no metal-complex recovery burden

A team that has scaled chemistry before

The team is structured around the work required to move carbon chemistry beyond the lab: capture, synthesis, process control, and commercial execution.

We're hiring →
Claims must be backed by process conditions
Analysis, reproducibility, and clear technical scope matter more than adjectives.
Materials must enter real value chains
A material is only meaningful when it can enter a real product, process, or value chain.
Small-team decisions must matter
We prioritize decisions that advance proof, scale-up, IP, or partnership readiness.
Chemistry and business must speak
Process engineering, business development, and design talk to each other from the start.
