CYNiO Team

With CYNiO, we are making a valuable contribution to a more sustainable chemical industry. Because we think phosgene is pretty shitty, we use CO2 to produce our specialty isocyanates instead. Our new method has so far convinced industrial customers, research institutions, investors, project sponsors and some juries, but most importantly – maybe it will convince you too?

We have already come a long way, but now is the time when we need YOU
