industrial manufacturing and beyond. We’re developing a novel hydrothermal process that dramatically reduces the energy needed to decompose carbonate minerals and allows for the capture of all CO2 produced during the reaction. This low energy solution for carbonate processing creates a commercially viable path for widespread carbon capture projects and carbon neutral cement production. At scale, this technology will enable gigaton-scale reductions in industrial CO2 emissions via avoidance and capture routes.
