Applications
What we make possible
From perfume to propellants
the molecules of post-fossil modernity
The future of chemistry is already in use
At Copper Lavender, we don’t invent molecules for the sake of novelty. We recreate essential compounds, already in use, already in demand, but now
made cleanly, modularly, and from waste-CO₂.
Our platform doesn’t seek niche applications. It delivers fossil-free drop-in replacements for high-value, high-impact molecules across multiple industries.
What connects them is urgency: climate, sovereignty, supply security, and the need for carbon that doesn't come from oil, coal or gas.
Fragrance & Flavors
Molecules that smell like nature, but perform like infrastructure
The fragrance and flavor industry is built on precision.
Citral, the lemon-scented backbone of countless perfumes and flavorings, is still derived from fossil carbon. Copper Lavender offers a fossil-free alternative, synthesized directly from CO₂ using renewable electricity.
* Same molecule.
* Same performance.
* Cleaner origin.
5 LOI
Five fragrance producers have signed letters of intent to purchase our CO₂-based citral once available, not just for sustainability, but for competitive edge in a market where climate credibility meets consumer choice.
Energetic Materials
Fossil-free precursors for strategic autonomy
Toluene is a backbone of modern defense chemistry, essential for producing TNT and other energetic materials. But it's still sourced from fossil oil, and mostly imported.
Copper Lavender creates toluene from CO₂, clean, traceable, and produced in Europe.
1 LOI
A defense-grade materials supplier has already committed to engage once available, seeing not just a cleaner molecule, but a more secure one.
In the shift from fossil dependency to resilience, molecular sovereignty matters.
Industrial Gases
Clean acetylene, without the CO₂ debt
Acetylene is a workhorse molecule, used in welding, cutting, and as a reactive feedstock. Today’s production is dirty, energy-intensive, and fossil-bound.
Copper Lavender makes acetylene and its derived molecules
* from CO₂,
* electrochemically,
* modularly,
* at the point of use.
We’re working with gas suppliers on Molecule-as-a-Service solutions to deliver fossil-free acetylene where it’s needed, safely, scalable, and without legacy emissions.
