Emission-Transforming Modular Electrolyzers
Turnover Labs Creates Chemical Building Blocks
Kalin Ned — February 17, 2026
The Brooklyn-based company Turnover Labs develops modular electrolyzers capable of transforming raw, dilute industrial carbon dioxide emissions directly into valuable chemical building blocks without requiring prior capture or purification steps.
Turnover Labs' ultra-durable electrolysis system can be installed on-site at any industrial facility to convert waste CO₂ streams into pure, high-value products that can be used as low-carbon feedstocks for further manufacturing. This is said to enable local production and reduce dependence on globalized supply chains.
Turnover Labs' modular electrolyzers may help companies to avoid carbon taxes and import costs while turning emissions into economic assets. The solution is noteworthy because it addresses the carbon footprint of countless everyday products that rely on chemical building blocks derived from fossil fuels, from plastics and solvents to pharmaceuticals and agricultural inputs.
