COOloop Information

The hydrogen economy's bottleneck isn't production - it's profitable demand. Over 1,500 hydrogen projects have been announced globally, but fewer than a third have reached FID, construction, or operation. Governments have stimulated supply; profitable demand hasn't kept pace. COOloop is a hydrogen commercialisation platform. Our MOF-derived catalyst converts CO₂ and green hydrogen directly into ultra-low carbon ethanol — TRL 4, with 97% selectivity demonstrated and a continuous-flow programme underway with Honeywell UOP and Teesside University. We chose ethanol as our first market deliberately: it's a large, established global market with existing storage, transport, and distribution infrastructure, and strong regulatory tailwinds under RED III, ReFuelEU Aviation, and CORSIA. We don't need a hydrogen market to exist first - we sell into an ethanol market that already does. Our model is asset-light and capital-efficient: we license the technology, supply the catalyst, and originate hydrogen supply, earning primarily royalty-driven revenue as licensees deploy standardised modular sites. COOloop is led by Ike Omambala (CEO, 25+ years in chemicals & energy — BP, INEOS, Synthomer) and Raj Lakshman (CTO, PhD Chemical Engineering, Monash University, developer of COOloop's core MOF catalyst). 🌐 www.cooloop.tech 📧 info@cooloop.tech
