Impact
Carbon Dragon Technologies is redefining what it means to capture carbon. Our breakthrough process transforms waste CO₂ emissions into valuable advanced carbon materials used in composites, plastics, and infrastructure. Instead of burying carbon underground, we convert it into profit — creating materials that strengthen products, shorten supply chains, and build a cleaner American manufacturing base.
From a scientific standpoint, this is a leap forward. Our process bridges energy recovery, plasma chemistry, and carbon reforming in a way that operates at low temperature and pressure, producing graphitic carbon directly from CO₂. It removes dependence on mined graphite and imported graphene while opening a new, scalable pathway for advanced materials production.
Environmentally, this technology closes the carbon loop. Each system installed at a natural gas power plant reduces emissions at the source while recovering water and carbon that would otherwise be lost to the atmosphere. The result is a carbon-negative cycle that transforms pollution into resources and enables true decarbonization without sacrificing energy output.
Socially and economically, the impact is immediate and lasting. Over the next five years, scaling this technology will create more than 100 high-paying jobs in clean manufacturing, materials science, and engineering. It strengthens domestic supply chains, supports U.S. energy independence, and empowers workers to be part of a sustainable industrial future.
Business-wise, the advantage is clear: power plants gain compliance and profit; manufacturers gain strength and savings. Carbon Dragon Technologies turns the costs of climate responsibility into a competitive edge — proving that sustainability is not just an environmental choice, but an economic one.
We don’t just capture carbon. We redefine its value — transforming waste into wonder and building the foundation for a carbon-smart economy.
What I'll do with $5,000
With $5,000, Carbon Dragon Technologies would build a small-scale prototype reactor—our first fully modifiable and testable model. This version will serve as a critical bridge between concept and commercialization, allowing us to begin direct material testing using controlled CO₂ sources. The prototype will help us validate performance parameters, identify design optimizations, and confirm the quality of our carbon material before advancing to engineered production systems.
We are also applying for Business Accelerator Fund (BAF) support; however, BAF funding is highly restricted in its allowable use. Rather than allocating those funds toward flexible prototyping, we plan to reserve them for the certified laboratory testing phase, which carries significant costs.
This $5,000 award would directly accelerate our progress—enabling rapid iteration, reducing design risk, and ensuring that when we engage engineers for the next stage, the reactor design is proven, efficient, and ready for scale.
