Our approach

Carbon mineralisation is a natural process in which CO₂ reacts with rocks to form stable carbonates. This reaction occurs over geological timescales and currently removes ~0.3Gt of CO₂ annually.

With engineered processes, operating at economically acceptable rates, carbon mineralisation technologies could capture multi-Gt CO₂/year, to slow and even reverse the accumulation of CO₂ in the atmosphere. The NetCarb Technology accelerates the natural process by ~100 million times, providing a much more economically attractive pathway to large scale capture and storage of CO₂.

NetCarb Technology uses thermally activated ultramafic rocks in a CO₂ pH swing reactor configured to operate at near ambient pressure and temperature conditions. The process secures large quantities of CO₂ (~0.3t CO₂/t rock), whilst generating valuable byproducts.

NetCarb Technology provides a simple, commercially viable, and scalable carbonation solution using readily available industrial equipment.

Commercially viable CO₂ storage, and even removal from the atmosphere, creates opportunities in the energy, power, chemical, mining, agricultural and building materials industries. This also has a flow on effect to the hydrogen and biofuel economies.
