The Importance of CO2 Sequestration in Combating Climate Change
CO2 sequestration is critical in the fight against climate change. By capturing and storing carbon dioxide, we can significantly reduce the amount of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, mitigating its impact on global warming.
Addressing Geographic Disparities in CO2 Storage
According to a report by the European Commission, "CO2 storage capacity is plentiful, yet it is not evenly distributed geographically. In some cases, significant emissions of CO2 are not located close to sites of significant storage capacity. Some countries have less than 20 years of potential storage within their state boundaries, requiring costly interconnected networks and strategic cross-border transfers.”
At Decahydron, we recognize this issue and are actively seeking solutions by utilizing abundant ultramafic rocks located near industrial areas, unlike disused offshore oil and gas fields. This proximity reduces costs and enhances the feasibility of CO2 sequestration efforts.
CO2 Mineralisation with Ultramafic Rocks
CO2 mineralisation using ultramafic rocks offers a promising method for carbon sequestration. Ultramafic rocks react with CO2 to form stable carbonate minerals, permanently locking away the carbon. This natural process, thanks to Decahydron's technology, can be enhanced and scaled up to serve as an efficient and long-lasting solution for reducing atmospheric CO2 levels.
Decahydron's Expertise and Innovative Technology
Decahydron's extensive expertise in ultramafic rock and fluid interactions, backed by proprietary intellectual property, positions us at the forefront of this innovative solution. Our unique, water-free CO2 injection process is both sustainable and scalable to the giga scale. Unlike other companies, we do not use any water during CO2 injection. This ensures that 100% of our injection capacity is dedicated to CO2, preserving the environment by preventing a potential water crisis. This sustainable approach reduces our capital expenditures by a factor of 25 compared to competitors.
Additionally, our real-time monitoring technology ensures transparency and efficiency by allowing us to deliver carbon credits directly to the international market. By harnessing the unique properties of these abundant rocks, Decahydron is pioneering a sustainable approach to clean energy, leveraging a resource that is widely distributed around the world.
