Mars Materials is a venture- and Breakthrough Energy-backed startup in Houston, TX, commercializing NREL-developed process technology to sequester CO2 into acrylonitrile (AN), the sole feedstock for acrylamide (AMD) and carbon fiber (CF) markets. Resulting from a growing and immediate customer demand for low carbon AN and regulatory pressures, these markets are supply-constrained and seeking decarbonized drop-in replacement alternatives to petrochemical-derived AN.
