Tencent's CarbonX program supports CERT Systems, which uses Direct CO2 Electrolysis to convert captured carbon dioxide, water, and clean electricity into ethylene, aiming to replace fossil-fuel-based production. The company achieved a lab milestone of converting atmospheric CO2 into ethylene and plans to scale to a commercial demonstration project outside Canada.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://www.tencent.com/reinventing-a-critical-chemical-without-relying-on-fossil-fuels/:

> Their method, Direct CO2 Electrolysis, captures carbon dioxide from industrial emissions or directly from the atmosphere, then feeds it into an electrolyzer with water and clean electricity.
