From carbon inputs to industrial outputs.
C1 Foundry builds carbon conversion systems that coordinate feedstocks, energy, biology, process design, and commercialization. The goal is practical deployment: routes that can move from technical logic to industrial use.
Focus
Carbon conversion has to be built as a system, not a single pathway.
Inputs
CO2, H2, formate, acetate, and other streams each bring different handling, energy, and process constraints.
Platform
Biology, energy supply, redox balance, process conditions, and recovery have to be designed together.
Products
Industrial outputs need pathways that make technical, operational, and commercial sense at the same time.
What we do
We connect carbon inputs, biology, energy, process design, and product demand.
Practical system design can include intermediates such as acetate, cofeeding strategies, and other ways to balance carbon flow, ATP, and reducing power. C1 Foundry evaluates those choices as full-system tradeoffs: feedstock access, conversion performance, energy demand, downstream recovery, economics, and partner fit.
System view
Inputs become products when carbon, energy, biology, process design, and partner integration are coordinated together.

Get in touch
Built for serious technical and industrial conversations.
We work best with partners evaluating carbon conversion through the full system: feedstocks, energy, biology, process economics, downstream recovery, and route-to-market. If those constraints matter to your work, we should talk.
