What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chemical/Electrochemical Technician position at RenewCO₂?
About RenewCO2
RenewCO2 commercializes electrochemical processes to convert CO2 emissions into carbon-negative materials. What distinguishes us from other CO2 reduction approaches is our proprietary catalyst, which enables an energy-efficient and selective pathway to existing valuable commodity chemicals, such as monoethylene glycol, methyl glyoxal, formic acid, sustain aviation fuel, and more. Our products can directly access existing markets and our economics are projected to be competitive or advantaged versus current fossil-based production. We will be in the position to offer differentiated carbon-negative products at competitive prices, and thus our potential impact on emissions and society is enormous. We're seeking highly motivated team leaders and members who want to make a significant positive impact on climate change and are excited to work in a collaborative team setting.
