Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Operation of the world's largest Direct Air Capture plant (Orca), actively filtering CO2 from the atmosphere and mineralizing it underground for permanent removal.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"The gold standard for carbon removal. Unlike offsets (planting trees which might burn), this is measurable, permanent, and additive. The high cost is the only barrier, but corporate buyers are funding the learning curve."

warning The Challenge

Reducing emissions is not enough to meet climate goals; historical CO2 must be removed. Traditional carbon offsets (forestry) are often unverifiable or temporary. Corporations need a 'high quality' removal credit that guarantees the CO2 is gone forever.

psychology The Solution

Built the 'Orca' plant in Iceland. Fans draw air through a collector filters which bind CO2. Once full, the collector is heated (using geothermal energy) to release the concentrated CO2. This gas is mixed with water and pumped deep underground into basalt rock, where it mineralizes into stone within 2 years (Carbfix method).
