Decarbonization

Decarbonization reduces GHG emissions from all modes of production in energy, materials, food, and other industries.

Carbon-free solutions are emerging across industries to increase performance, lower lifecycle costs, and improve resilience. Electrification is being deployed in many sectors, while others are utilizing green hydrogen, CCUS, and DAC to convert emissions into a resource.
At Valo, we are investing in solutions that:

  • Generate

    Making, storing, and distributing the lowest-cost, most abundantly available carbon-free energy solutions to achieve 24x7 hourly matching of supply and demand.

  • Electrify

    Electrifying everything—from transportation and heating to material and food production systems—while also improving energy efficiency in existing processes.

  • Remove

    Reducing GHG emissions from legacy processes, and capturing and utilizing any remaining carbon dioxide or methane through both engineered and nature-based solutions.
