Tier 1 CRC (Fuel Cells and Related Clean Energy Systems) Director, CAESR-Tech (Calgary Advanced Energy Storage and Conversion Research Tecnhologies) Dr. Birss is a Professor of Chemistry and has been a Tier I Canada Research Chair in Fuel Cells and Related Energy Systems at the University of Calgary since 2004.
With most energy being generated from fossil fuels, the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) was seen as an inevitable side effect of producing enough energy to sustain the incredible, and rising, rate of human consumption. SeeO2 saw a future in which CO2 could be collected, broken down and used as part of a range of chemicals. SeeO2 Energy Inc
SeeO2 Energy creates symmetrical electrolysis cells based on proprietary electrocatalysts. Their transformative technology captures carbon emissions and economically converts CO2 into valuable chemical building blocks like CO, syngas, methane, and oxygen.
However, the novel and stable electrocatalyst developed by SeeO2, can be used in both the oxygen-rich environment of the oxygen electrode anode, producing oxygen, and at the CO 2 / steam environment of the cathode, producing H 2 and CO (syngas).
SeeO2''s platform technology provides 4 major solutions (1 stone for 4 birds) CO2 to fuels and chemicals → a strategy for CO2 mitigation; Power to fuels → means of energy storage especially for renewable energies (wind and solar) Fuels (CO, syngas, CH4) to power and heat→ off-grid customers, stabilize grid, energy efficiency
SeeO2 Energy has developed a high temperature electrolyzer that uses CO2 from an industrial company''s waste stream and converts it into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, oxygen or syngas, all of which can be used downstream or sold for profit. HEADQUARTER. Calgary, Canada. LEARN
We are developing an efficient and a high performance reversible solid oxide cells (RSOFCs). Our technology, which involves the use of a high-performance catalyst material, allows the electrochemical conversion of water to hydrogen, carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO), and CO2 and water to produce syngas, a mixture of CO and H2. The products (syngas, H2
Paul Addo, co-founder of SeeO2 Energy, is developing a patented technology that converts GHG emissions at industrial facilities to fuels. The company''s technology transforms carbon dioxide – a greenhouse gas – into useful industrial gases like carbon monoxide and syngas, which is used in plastic, chemical and metal processing.
SeeO2 Energy is converting carbon dioxide into marketable and clean value-added fuels and chemicals using reversible fuel technology. Its electrolyzers can efficiently generate gases on-site such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, or oxygen in a reliable way.

The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
