Join the team changing how the world views carbon

We’re turning CO2 into opportunity and we’re looking for innovators, engineers, and problem-solvers who want to change the carbon economy for good.

Who we are

At HYCO1, we’re redefining what’s possible in clean chemistry and low-carbon manufacturing. Our proprietary CUBE™ Technology transforms carbon dioxide into high-value synthesis gas (syngas), enabling industries to produce critical chemicals, fuels and hydrogen with dramatically lower carbon intensity.

We’re scientists, engineers, and business leaders with one shared mission — make carbon emissions useful. From our catalyst production facility in Texas to our partnerships with global chemical producers, we’re proving that decarbonization and improved economics can coexist.

If you’re passionate about real-world climate solutions that work at industrial scale, HYCO1 is where you belong.
