This company provides safe, scalable, and permanent carbon dioxide removal through accelerated mineralisation. They utilize natural reactions between CO₂ and specific rocks like peridotites to form stable carbonate minerals quickly and efficiently. Their process offers a permanent sequestration solution with minimal environmental impact and a lower cost per tonne of captured CO₂.

Problem
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels are dangerously high, driving climate change. Current carbon removal solutions are often expensive, temporary, or environmentally risky. There is an urgent need for safe, scalable, and permanent methods to remove large quantities of CO₂ from the atmosphere.
Solution
4.01 accelerates the natural process of CO₂ mineralization by reacting it with water and peridotite rock to form stable carbonate minerals. This process permanently sequesters CO₂, preventing its release back into the atmosphere. The mineralization process is safe, with no adverse impacts on the local environment, subsurface, or water sources. It is also fast, taking place in under a year, and scalable, with trillions of tonnes of peridotite available across the globe.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes organizations seeking to offset their carbon emissions, governments implementing carbon reduction strategies, and investors interested in supporting scalable carbon removal technologies.
