   Loa Carbon is an award-winning climate tech developer and certified B-Corporation based in New York City.We use captured CO2 and renewable energy to synthesize sustainable hydrocarbons (primarily e-fuels and chemical precursors). We sell those hydrocarbons into hard-to-abate industries and use them to produce high-value solid carbon products, including the world\'s most sustainable graphene.Our hydrocarbon synthesis technology was initially commercialized via the introduction of the world\'s first carbon capture diamonds, which we brought to market under the Aether Diamonds brand (acquired in July 2024).
