Jobs at OXCCU

The company was spun out from the University of Oxford in 2021 by OUI and IP Group and is underpinned by a number of scientific breakthroughs published in top tier scientific journals by Professor Peter Edwards, Dr Tiancun Xiao and Dr Benzhen Yao. OxCCU is developing inexpensive catalysts with high efficiency and selectivity, transforming CO2 into valuable hydrocarbons. Even with the growth of renewable energy, fossil fuels still provided 83% of the 557 EJ of primary energy the world needed in 2020. To limit the impact of greenhouse gas emissions, this demand, plus the anticipated additional growth, must all come from zero - emissions sources in just 30 years. The shift in the power sector is of course already underway however, not all sectors are easy-to-decarbonise using renewable electricity directly, in particular, long-distance aviation transport fuels where energy density requirements are far beyond batteries and petrochemicals where the carbon molecules themselves become the multitude of products we use in our everyday lives. In these sectors e-fuels, e-chemicals and e-plastics made from green electricity and CO2 will be essential to displace the fossil oil and gas in use today. Welcome to the future of truly circular e- fuels, sustainable chemicals and biodegradable plastics. One where people can fly, use household chemicals and buy disposable and biodegradable plastic products without concerns about their impact on climate change or waste disposal.
