bold idea
Eliminate pollution from combustion of fossil fuels and enable access to clean air across the globe by using our technology to convert pollution to ink and paints.
organization overview
Chakr Innovation has developed the world’s first continuous self-cleaning trap for particulate matter emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels. Over 7 million premature deaths annually are linked to air pollution, with over 1.1 million deaths in India. Chakr Innovation’s technology can reduce the emissions from fossil fuel burning by over 80 percent. This captured pollution is converted into inks, ensuring disposal of the pollutants in the most environmentally benign way. Chakr Innovation enables individuals and organizations to create a sustainable world through its products and services and seeks to inspire, educate, and assist clients in achieving their goals of environmental sustainability.
