Barton Blakeley Technologies develops first CO2 conversion to hydrophobic silica

In the UK, Barton Blakeley Technologies has developed the first carbon conversion system, converting CO2 emissions into hydrophobic silica. The technology, known as HYPER Xi, converts waste carbon dioxide into materials used in a wide range of industries that manufacture everyday products. The material is used for various functions such as waterproofing, thickening, thinning, anti-microbial functionality, and support in plastics, rubbers, silicones, paints, electronics, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
