The Science
What we're building
EDAC Labs develops electrochemical and hydrometallurgical technologies that produce and leverage low‑cost acids and bases to make products. We focus on industrial decarbonization by reducing energy and carbon emissions. We make circularity and decarbonization profitable.

EDAC Labs' story begins with technology created by Professor Chao Wang and PhD student Hao Shen of John's Hopkins University. As director of Maryland Energy Innovation Accelerator, Brian Toll recognized the potential of acid and base to decarbonize industry. Serial entrepreneur James Lavin realized that this technology was gigaton scalable across many applications. Jim, Brian and Chao co-founded EDAC in July 2022.
Our Technology
Our Beginnings
Our Beginnings
We're on a mission to decarbonize the world, and our Electrosynthesizer(TM) is the technology that will do it. Our core innovation, an electrochemical cell that enables low-energy splitting of brine into acids and bases, is both simple and effective. We're out of the lab now focused on scaling-up the technology for commercialization of a new class of electrochemistry systems.
Our Impact
Our Beginnings
Our Impact
The applications of our technology are boundless. We are initially focusing on upcycling of post-consumer glass and e-waste, and recycling of sodium sulfate waste streams. We also plan to sell electrochemical systems to developers working in industrial decarbonization and any other application requiring simultaneous manufacture of acid and base.
