Chemicals Made from CO2 and Methane

Use of CO2 and Methane for Industrial Solutions

MAAT Energy converts carbon from methane and CO₂ into hydrogen, carbon, and carbon monoxide using microwave and plasma processes. The system accepts methane (biogas, landfill gas, natural gas) as well as propane and ethane, producing intermediates for methanol, plastics, and sustainable aviation fuels, along with CO for industrial applications and carbons for construction and advanced materials. Designed as a modular platform with fast startup and the ability to run on intermittent electricity, MAAT upgrades low-value carbon into higher-value products at the point of demand, enabling a capital-efficient path to decarbonize fuels, chemicals, and materials.

Technology

MAAT Energy develops plasma reforming technology that converts carbon dioxide and natural gas into syngas and solid carbon.

We focus on modular systems that enable carbon-efficienct production of key feedstocks for fuels and chemicals using CO₂ and natural gas reforming.

Our team has experience scaling industrial technologies in the automotive, cement, power, and chemical sectors. In the near term, we’re building a syngas platform to support distributed production of methanol and synthetic aviation fuel. MAAT Energy is a spinoff of the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center
