One way to use our reactor is to capture the CO2 directly at an emission point before it can reach the atmosphere – hence, avoiding an emission.
CO₂ from the controlled combustion of biomass (or other sources) is dissolved in water (H₂O) and converted to carbonic acid (H₂CO₃).
In our reactor, bicarbonate (HCO3−) is produced by adding natural limestone (CaCO3) slurry. The mineralised water can now be stored safely in the ocean.
This controlled process allows us to determine exactly how much CO₂ has been extracted and stored, which enables scaling conditions.
