Closed-Loop Physical AI to solve humankind’s greatest challenges.
Earth is warming.
Industrial processes emit about a quarter of the world’s greenhouse gases.
Most are still developed by trial and error, and run on settings fixed years ago.
DecaPlants closes the loop: Physical AI that develops cleaner processes in the lab and optimizes every plant to perform at its best through a superintelligence platform.
What is DecaPlants?
Today, one of the biggest challenges in industrial decarbonization is developing sustainable processes that can move from the lab to industrial scale without compromising cost, efficiency, or performance.
DecaPlants is tackling this challenge by embedding sustainability into process development from the very beginning, helping industries develop better ways to produce while using less energy and emitting less CO₂. Our autonomous lab forms hypotheses, designs and runs its own experiments, and treats energy and CO₂ reduction as design targets from the first run, not afterthoughts.
The result: R&D times cut in half with eco design embedded in each step, making scale up smoother and operations sustainable.
Why we do it
Process Superintelligence
Humans have always been makers: we turned fire into forges and chemistry into medicine, and every leap in civilization began with a better way to make things.
Today that ability is under pressure. Europe’s plants face the world’s highest energy and carbon costs, competitors are scaling faster, and the processes inside our factories were designed decades ago and are rarely revisited. We believe the next industrial advantage won’t come from cheaper labour or bigger plants. It will come from intelligence that understands how matter is made.
DecaPlants is building process superintelligence: one system that runs the scientific method itself, from hypothesis to experiment to proof, in the lab and on the plant floor.
How we do it
DecaOS: Self learning Control System
Designing a process and running a plant are one scientific loop.
No one has closed it yet.
Industries
