Arculus Solutions, Inc.

Problem: Bulk transportation of CO2 and hydrogen is crucial in our efforts to reach net zero by 2050. While reusing the extensive natural gas grid is the simplest, fastest and most cost-effective solution, those pipes suffer (i) severe corrosion from carbonic acid, and (ii) hydrogen embrittlement. Solution: We bring to market an autonomous robot able to travel inside natural gas transmission pipelines while applying a patented barrier coating developed at MIT, made of layers of aluminum and aluminum oxide. Our coating is inert to carbonic acid and impermeable to hydrogen. Target Markets: Hydrogen Transportation, CO2 Transportation, H2 Storage Looking for business opportunities in: Market Access, Lab & Testing Facilities, Corporation, Business Expertise, Investor Technology Readiness Level: TRL 5 Prototype Contact info: Gianluca Roscioli roscioli@arculus-solutions.com
