The primary substance on our planet which absorbs, captures and sequesters atmospheric CO2 is water. Our technology removes CO2 from water, freeing it up to absorb more from the atmosphere, and allowing us to instantly turn any water-based infrastructure into a carbon dioxide removal facility. Our Mission Provide humanity with the technological means to create a sustainable world. Quickly, safely, and profitably. Our Solution Earth’s water sources are the most important atmospheric CO2 sink in the world. Since the industrial revolution, anthropogenic CO2 emissions have risen above the capacity of our waters to absorb them, leading to phenomena like ocean acidification, and hindering our global ecosystem’s ability to self-regulate. Our solution is to remove excess CO2 from the water and lock it away indefinitely, enhancing our planet’s ability to fight climate change by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. Our Technology: Marine Calcium Looping Our proprietary process utilizes calcium, one of the most abundant chemical elements on the planet, to mineralize, separate, and remove dissolved CO2 from water in a closed-loop system without further altering its chemical composition or balance in any way. This water can then be safely utilized, or returned to its source, while continuing to perform the crucial function of absorbing more atmospheric CO2 in both cases.
