Providing Sustainable Fuel for Today and for the Future
Our mission at Slopeside Energy is to produce carbon-neutral synthetic hydrocarbons at a competitive price.
Our Technology
Our innovative technology utilizes the unique properties of low-temperature plasma, operating near ambient pressure and temperature, to break down water and CO2 to hydrogen and carbon. This plasma, coupled with additional catalysts, facilitates the generation of cost-competitive syngas and methane from the newly available hydrogen and carbon.
Our Unique Advantages
First, by operating our system at atmospheric pressure and room temperature, our initial capital costs will be kept to a minimum.
Second, our plasma-based process can rapidly ramp production on the scale of minutes. This combination of low capital costs and the ability to dynamically ramp production allows us to enable the use of off-peak, low-cost electricity. This economic advantage will be magnified as wind and solar resources are added to the nation’s electrical grid, further increasing the availability of intermittent low-cost electricity.
Finally, our ability to utilize carbon from natural water bodies unlocks additional economic efficiencies, as aqueous carbon is 150 times more dense per unit volume than atmospheric carbon. Use of concentrated aqueous carbon feedstock will greatly increase our ability to capture and utilize environmental carbon.

The commercialization of our technology, enabling the economic production of carbon-neutral hydrogen-carrier feedstocks and fuels such as syngas and methane, will drive the advancement of a more economically competitive, secure, resilient, and environmentally responsible U.S. energy industry.
Our VisionSlopeside Energy LLC is poised to revolutionize carbon capture and energy production. We seek to offer an efficient path to cleaner energy by designing technology that aligns with global carbon neutrality goals and sustainability efforts. We seek to decarbonize multiple industrial sectors through the use of our carbon-neutral hydrocarbons, paving the way for sustainable practices without costly overhauls. We are excited to bring these benefits, all while providing a cleaner energy future for our communities and creating long-term employment opportunities. |
