Dioxide Materials was founded in 2009 in Champaign, Illinois, and is now headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. Its main business is to develop technology to lower the world's carbon footprint. Dioxide Materials is developing technology to convert carbon dioxide, water and renewable energy into carbon-neutral gasoline (petrol) or jet fuel. Applications include CO2 recycling,[1] sustainable fuels production [1] and reducing curtailment of renewable energy[2][3](i.e. renewable energy that could not be used by the grid[2]).
