UK start-up COOloop to produce world-first carbon-negative acetic acid using Monash University technology

A UK-based start-up, co-founded by Monash University PhD graduate Dr Rajan Lakshman, has secured £150,000 in seed funding from Carbon13 Ventures to commercialise technology developed at Monash. The company is pioneering a world-first catalytic process that converts captured CO₂ and renewable hydrogen directly into acetic acid, offering a carbon-negative alternative to fossil-based production. Every year, the world produces around 20 million tonnes of acetic acid, a key chemical used in plastics, textiles, paints, adhesives and food products, almost entirely from fossil fuels. COOloop’s world-first Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) catalyst enables direct CO₂ conversion, potentially eliminating millions of tonnes of carbon emissions…
