A world made from air™
We are Twelve, the carbon transformation company. We’re transforming CO₂ into essential products, like materials and fuels, through the science of electrochemistry.
We’re scaling our technology to eliminate global industrial emissions, and build a fossil-free future. We know technology alone can't change the world, it takes a culture of extraordinary people, a diversity of talent, skills and perspectives working together. We’re driven by three core beliefs:
1. The Future is Fossil-Free
A fossil-free future doesn't just happen—it has to be invented. We're creating new technologies and teams that have never existed before in order to get there.
2. It Takes Everybody
We need every available technology and approach to address the needs of the climate era. Twelve's technology is a critical part of eliminating industrial emissions and helping to reduce the trillion tons of CO₂ in the atmosphere.
3. We Can Do This
Despite the audacity of the challenge and the path ahead, we are determined and we have the technology to transform our world from the inside out.
We are builders inventing new systems, infrastructure and teams. Our technology changes things at the molecular level, and we're building a culture of extraordinary people to create positive change on a human level.
Climate needs everyone. While science and technology are at the heart of what we do, it takes all disciplines, talents, skills, experiences and perspectives to build climate solutions at scale. Make the next step in your career the most meaningful one yet. Join the mission.
