About Mars Materials

"Mars Materials is a sustainability-focused company revolutionizing the production of acrylonitrile and carbon fiber by utilizing captured CO2 as a raw material. With a mission to reverse industrial waste carbon emissions on a massive scale, Mars is commercializing carbontech solutions that enable the production of acrylonitrile from CO2 and renewable feedstock instead of petrochemicals. Acrylonitrile is a crucial chemical in the supply chain, used in wastewater treatment and carbon fiber production. Mars' innovative technology not only reduces emissions but also lowers production costs, making the process more sustainable and environmentally friendly. By transforming captured CO2 into essential raw materials, Mars is paving the way for a greener and more efficient industrial future."
