CarbonBlue

CarbonBlue

Maagan Michael, Israel

A first-of-its-kind pilot of marine calcium looping direct ocean capture integrated with a desalination facility.

The project is a pilot facility that demonstrates CarbonBlue’s water-based calcium looping technology. It is integrated with a brackish water desalination facility in Maagan Michael, Israel. Operation at full capacity of 400 tpy will commence in 2024.
Country: Israel
Status: In development

Equatic X Deep Sky

Equatic X Deep Sky

Québec, QC, Canada

Equatic’s seawater electrolysis couples carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere with the generation of green hydrogen at the lowest costs.

Equatic will deliver and install an electrolyzer unit to be operated at Deep Sky’s pilot facility in Quebec in 2024. The unit will have the capacity to remove 365 tons of carbon dioxide per year and will demonstrate the potential for Equatic’s technology ahead of larger-scale deployments (100,000+ tons per year).

Loblolly

Pine Bluff, AR, USA

Buys waste biomass and encases it preventing decomposition.

Combining photosynthesis with practical engineering, Graphyte’s Carbon Casting technology provides an immediate pathway for billions of tons of low-cost, permanent carbon removal. With levelized production costs at under $100/ton with minimal energy requirements, we can remove CO2 for 1,000+ years. Graphyte is in the process of building its first plant in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, near local timber and rice mills that could serve as biomass sources. The facility will, at first, be able to process and store carbon at a rate of about 5,000 tons per year, but the goal is to expand that processing capacity to a rate of 50,000 tons per year in 2024 as well.

ClimeRock

Colombes, France

Making ERW accessible, starting with France

ClimeRock is a French startup focused on Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) – a natural solution that captures carbon dioxide from the air by spreading finely ground rocks over large areas of land. ERW also improves soil health and productivity for farmers. ClimeRock aims to make ERW accessible to farming lands globally, starting with France. ERW utilizes abundant natural resources and has the potential to scale up rapidly to reach net-zero emissions.

Exterra Carbon Solutions X Deep Sky

Thetford Mines, Quebec, Canada

Mimics the natural weathering of rocks, significantly accelerating CO2 mineralization

Exterra reduces the environmental impact of carbon emissions and raw material production by developing projects that transform mineral waste and CO2 into carbonate minerals and byproducts using our proprietary chemical process. The carbonate minerals are used on-site for site rehabilitation, where the CO2 remains locked away for millennia, avoiding the climate impact of atmospheric greenhouse gasses.

CO2 Energie AG X Airfix

Zürich, Switzerland

Scaling Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage

Airfix – a new subsidiary of South Pole – combines decades of climate finance and carbon project development expertise with a vision for a scalable Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) market in Switzerland and beyond. They aim to remove 5,000,000 tonnes of CO₂e in 10 years. The first project supported by Airfix is the largest BiCRS project in Switzerland to date, delivering 21,800 tCO₂ of removals in five years. CO2 Energie AG will install a capture and liquefaction system on a biogas plant close to Zurich.

Project Nexus

Crocketford, Dumfries, Scotland, UK

Capture, utilisation and storage of biogenic CO₂

Dumfries and Galloway firm Carbon Capture Scotland have announced its latest project which aims to remove one millions tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere per year. Its carbon removal initiative, named Project Nexus, will also aim to generate up to 500 jobs across rural Scotland by 2030. The £120m investment will consist of a series of infrastructure and supply chain projects that allow for a sustainable and commercial means of carbon dioxide removal, starting in 2023 with projects in central and northern Scotland.

Rewind.earth

Black Sea

Sinking agricultural and forest waste.

Rewind uses cranes off of boats to sink agricultural and forest residues to the oxygenless bottom of the Black Sea, the largest anoxic body of water on Earth. Oxygenless water dramatically slows biomass decomposition. The lack of living organisms in the Black Sea limits any potential ecosystem risks. This process allows for affordable and environmentally safe carbon removal.

Vaulted Deep Kansas Injection Site

Hutchinson, Kansas, USA

Buries sludgy organic waste.

Vaulted Deep injects organic waste into durable wells, where the carbon in the waste is sequestered as it decomposes. Using a specialized slurry injection technology, their process can handle a wide range of organic carbon sources with minimal energy and upfront processing. Their system has the potential to be deployed quickly at large scales.
