Other than our invention for the electro-reduction of carbon dioxide, we have not yet developed or acquired any commercially exploitable technology.

The carbon enrichment unit proved successful at the proof-of-concept scale, and the bench-scale version was then designed and built. This unit, too, proved successful in its goal of enriching a dilute (roughly 20%) stream of carbon dioxide to over 80%. A budget was compiled for a pilot-scale unit, but this has not yet been pursued. The operation of the ERC reactors did not yield any significant breakthroughs in Mantra Energy’s understanding of their operation.

We anticipate that commercialization of ERC will require us to develop reactors capable of processing not less than 100 tons of CO2 per day; however, there is no guarantee that we will successfully produce reactors of that size. Production of commercially viable ERC reactors will depend on continued research and development, successful testing of small scale ERC reactors, and securing of additional financing. This testing is underway in our research facilities, and is complemented by the parallel engineering of a scaled-up demonstration plant by
pg 12..We have had success developing methods for improving the activity and extending the lifetime of the cathode at the bench scale and expect these methods to translate into significant process improvements as ERC is scaled up.

ERC has been shown to produce a range of compounds, including formic acid, formate salts, oxalic acid, and methanol. The efficiency for generation of each compound depends on the experimental conditions, most importantly the material of the cathode, which catalyzes the electrochemical reactions.

Until appropriate cathodes are found some products of CO2 reduction (methanol, for instance) are obtained at efficiencies too low for practical use. Other products can be generated on known cathodes with high current yields that could support valuable practical processes. For example, formic acid and its salts have been obtained on tin cathodes with current efficiencies above 80%, at industrially relevant conditions.
