Engineering Based Carbon Removal

BECCS generates energy by burning biomass and captures the resulting CO₂ before it enters the atmosphere. The CO₂ is then stored underground, achieving net-negative emissions.

Captured CO₂ is reacted with crushed minerals in controlled facilities to form stable carbonates. This process locks carbon permanently in solid form for years or decades.

Biomass is harvested and stored in oxygen-free environments (e.g., underground or sealed containers) to prevent decomposition. This halts CO₂ release and sequesters carbon for the long term.

Biomass is pyrolyzed into bio-oil, which is chemically stable and can be injected underground. This method offers a scalable and durable carbon sink.

Silicate or carbonate minerals are ground and spread over land or ocean to chemically bind atmospheric CO₂. This accelerates a natural carbon sink process over years.

Specialized machines extract CO₂ directly from ambient air and compress it for geological storage. DACCS is location-flexible and offers permanent carbon removal.

Engineered or naturally occurring microbes accelerate the formation of solid carbonates from CO₂. This biologically driven process enhances mineral-based sequestration.

Mechanical or chemical systems remove dissolved CO₂ directly from seawater and store it permanently. This helps restore the ocean’s natural carbon uptake capacity.

CO₂ is injected into underground basalt or peridotite formations where it reacts with minerals and solidifies. This locks carbon as rock over geological timescales.
