  • The National Science Foundation granted Rubi Laboratories nearly $1 million to scale its carbon-to-cellulose tech that makes carbon-negative textiles.

Rubi, a company focused on transforming carbon emissions into sustainable materials, has secured a government grant of nearly $1 million from the U.S. Department of Energy. This funding, part of the DOE's Carbon Dioxide Removal Purchase Pilot Prize, aims to support Rubi's efforts in scaling its innovative carbon-to-cellulose platform. The grant will help Rubi enhance its technology that captures carbon dioxide and converts it into cellulose, a versatile material used in various industries including textiles, packaging, and construction. This initiative not only aids in reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also promotes the development of a circular economy by repurposing waste carbon into valuable products.
