How Plant Integration Requirements Direct CO₂ Electrolyzer Innovation Toward Adoption
Ajay Kashi is the Senior Manager of Product Engineering at Twelve, leading efforts to scale and deploy CO₂ electrolysis for commercial sustainable aviation fuel production. In this role, he directs the manufacturing strategy that translates subscale innovations into full-scale CO₂ electrolyzer stacks.
An electrochemist by training and an early key team member at Twelve, Ajay brings over a decade of electrochemical R&D and product development experience, specializing in novel materials design and advanced device optimization.
How Plant Integration Requirements Direct CO₂ Electrolyzer Innovation Toward Adoption
How the realities of a working chemical plant are steering CO₂ electrolyzer design toward adoption: low-temperature PEM electrolysis at modular scale, tunable syngas for downstream clean chemicals, and de-risking commercial facilities by integrating electrolysis into an operating balance-of-plant.
- Deploying low-temperature electrochemical processes to efficiently utilize carbon dioxide and scale modular polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis architectures
- Converting water, electricity, and captured carbon dioxide into tunable syngas mixtures to produce downstream clean commodity chemicals
- De-risking large-scale commercial facilities by integrating carbon electrolysis within an active, fully operational industrial chemical balance-of-plant
