To eliminate energy use in industrial processes, enabling pathways for a more sustainable, resource efficient future.
Heavy industry uses a lot of energy. The processes to separate chemicals, pulp, and petrochemicals waste $100 billion in fossil fuels each year due to inefficiency. This is what Via Seperations aims to stop, with its new technologies for drastically reducing energy usage.
Most industrial processes for material separation use thermal processing. To simplify, the material is exposed to extreme heat until one component changes state. What Via Seperations does is replace that heat for pressure. The pressure filters the materials, and business use 90% less energy for these process than they would for thermal seperation. What’s more, the energy is electric and can be sourced from renewable materials - completely decarbonizing the supply chain.
Its grown quickly since its founding in 2020, and while its offering has been focused on the paper and wood pulp industry to date, they aim to use funding to scale the process to effective across a huge range industries - revolutionizing a massive market, and vastly impacting carbon emissions.
