Carbonyx transforms industrial waste rock and CO₂ into high-performance materials using a proprietary electrochemical process powered by water and electricity. The company produces carbon-negative carbonates, silica, and critical minerals for infrastructure and manufacturing, with modular systems that operate under mild conditions and can be deployed near supply sources.

Problem
Billions of tonnes of waste rock from mining, construction, and manufacturing are stockpiled annually, representing a vast underutilized feedstock with untapped economic value. This waste also presents a missed opportunity to store gigatonnes of CO₂, as conventional carbon capture and material production methods remain energy-intensive and centralized.
Solution
Carbonyx uses a proprietary technology that combines water and electricity to recover valuable materials from waste rock while permanently removing carbon from the atmosphere. The process converts CO₂ into a stable solid, delivering durable climate impact alongside economic value. Carbonyx develops a suite of carbon-negative and low-carbon materials—including carbonates, silica, and critical minerals—to replace the building blocks of modern industry. Their modular systems operate under mild conditions with low heat and pressure, enabling deployment near the point of supply and reducing the need for large, centralized plants.
Target Audience
Primary customers include industrial operators in mining, construction, and manufacturing that generate waste rock and seek to monetize byproducts while meeting carbon-reduction targets, as well as buyers of low-carbon building materials and critical minerals.
