Earthly Labs

Earthly Labs CiCi CO2 capture modular technology platform supports a range of industries, including the beachhead craft brewing segment, the larger beverage market, industrial gas dry ice production, fuel cells, renewal energy, mining, and direct air capture.

About Earthly Labs

Founded in 2016 by Amy George and catalyzed by the selection as a Carbon XPrize finalist, Earthly Labs vision was to capture and avoid 1 billion metric tons of CO2 from small scale emission sources. The first commercial application for CiCi® CO2 capture technology was CO2 recovery and reuse for craft breweries and, while that remains a strong sector, Earthly Labs continues to find new market opportunities in the circular CO2 economy.

The company was acquired by Chart in 2021 and the obvious synergies with Chart's extensive portfolio for the storage and distribution of liquid carbon dioxide and Cryogenic Carbon Capture technology yielded immediate benefits. With the largest network of CO2 capture systems in operation worldwide, Chart enables CO2 utilization and sequestration applications that reduce emissions, lower costs, and drive environmental goals globally.

Featured Products

CCUS - CiCi® Technology

CiCi creates a circular economy affordably capturing, purifying and liquefying carbon dioxide. CiCi is typically used to capture carbon dioxide from high CO2 content streams (50 to 99%+).

Renewable Energy

CiCi enables leaders in renewable energy – from fuel cells to biogas facilities - to capture and purify CO2 from their operations, enabling it to be reused or sold for industrial applications. This not only supports renewable energy production but also maximizes resource efficiency and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Industrial Gas

For industrial gas customers, CiCi can help tap new sources of CO2 for revenue growth. For dry ice manufacturers, Chart helps recover and liquify waste CO2 from dry ice production, creating more value and boosting revenue in short markets.
