Liquid Light was recognized for its process technology to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into major chemicals.
The Rising Star of the Year award is presented to the highest-ranked new entrant in the Global Cleantech 100.
The list is collated by combining proprietary Cleantech Group research data, with weighted qualitative judgments of hundreds of nominations, and input from a global 84-person expert panel.

Liquid Light''s technology to convert CO2 into chemicals through energy-efficient catalytic electrochemistry provides a new, pragmatic solution for customers -- allowing them to monetize their CO2 waste and reduce their carbon footprint. The company''s first targeted process is for the production of ethylene glycol (MEG), which is used to make everyday products including PET-based plastic bottles, polyester and antifreeze.
This honor by the Cleantech Group is the latest in a string of awards that Liquid Light has earned since emerging from stealth only six months ago. Recent recognition includes winning the , being named a finalist in the , and having its Chief Science Officer named one of .

"Our technology addresses a real problem and the industry is taking notice. We provide a compelling solution for partners to turn a problem into revenue, while delivering greater sustainability."
develops and licenses to make major chemicals from low-cost, globally-abundant carbon dioxide (CO2). Customers profit from a lower cost of production, while harnessing their current waste stream; reduce their dependence on cyclically-priced petroleum feedstocks; and can reduce their carbon footprint.
Liquid Light''s first targeted process is for the production of ethylene glycol (MEG), with a $27 billion annual market. Results consistent with have been validated at lab scale for key parts of our process; and the process scales in a predictable manner, akin to world-scale chlor-alkali plants.
Liquid Light''s core technology is centered on low-energy catalytic electrochemistry to convert CO2 to multi-carbon chemicals. It is backed by more than 100 patents and applications, and extends to multiple chemicals with large existing markets, including ethylene glycol, propylene, isopropanol, methyl-methacrylate and acetic acid.
Liquid Light''s investors include VantagePoint Capital Partners, BP Ventures, Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital, Osage University Partners and Sustainable Conversion Ventures.
