EDAC Labs' story begins with technology created by Professor Chao Wang and PhD student Hao Shen of John's Hopkins University. As director of Maryland Energy Innovation Accelerator, Brian Toll recognized the potential of a simple and safe method to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Serial entrepreneur James Lavin realized that this technology was the gigaton scalable CDR technology he had been looking for since 2013. Jim, Brian and Chao co-founded EDAC in July 2022.
Our Technology
Our Beginnings
Our Beginnings
We're on a mission to decarbonize the world, and our electrosynthesizer is the technology that will do it. Our core innovation, an electrochemical cell that enables low-energy splitting of brine into acids and bases, is both simple and effective. We're out of the lab now focused on scaling-up the technology for commercialization of a new class of electrochemistry systems.
Our Impact
Our Beginnings
Our Impact
The applications of our technology are boundless. We are initially focusing on carbon-negative magnesium mining. We also plan to sell electrochemical systems to developers working in ocean alkalinity enhancement, direct ocean capture, industrial decarbonization, and any other application requiring simultaneous manufacture of acid and base.
