What Is Some Carbon?
With the increase in the effects of production-based Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions, which is one of the most trending problems of our time, in recent years, sanctions and restrictions have begun to be established on countries and industries. Some Carbon is a transformation infrastructure and technology initiative integrated with CO2 exchanges, developed to ensure that industries with intense CO2 emissions in our country are not subject to restrictions and have a say in carbon exchanges. With its floating platforms and integrated systems with floating solar energy systems, it saves industries from new land/installation costs and leads them to reach large grants.
Working on New Generation Carbon Dioxide Conversion Technologies within the scope of Zero Emission in the entrepreneurship ecosystem for about a year and a half, Some Carbon, operating in Hacettepe Teknokent and İTÜ Arı Teknokent, continues its activities in the industry and universities in the field of sustainability and innovation.
