<p>Heirloom is on a mission to restore balance to our atmosphere.&nbsp;We are removing 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide by 2035, using natural processes to engineer the world's most cost-effective Direct Air Capture solution.</p>
<p>Naturally occurring minerals - alongside forests, soils, and the ocean - are one of our planet's most vital carbon sinks. Over geological timescales, carbon dioxide in the air and water chemically bind to these minerals and permanently turn to stone.<br /><br />Our technology enhances this natural process, called&nbsp;<em>carbon mineralization,</em>&nbsp;to help minerals absorb CO2&nbsp;from the ambient air in days, rather than years. By combining the best of engineering and nature, we can offer the most cost-effective and scalable Direct Air Capture solution in the world.</p>
