Problem
Existing carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies often suffer from energy inefficiencies, high operational costs, and a lack of verified long-term sequestration solutions, hindering their ability to achieve gigaton-scale impact. Many solutions also rely on the carbon market for economic viability.
Solution
Ceal utilizes a proprietary electrochemical process to capture atmospheric CO₂ dissolved in seawater and sequester it into industry-essential minerals, while simultaneously producing soft water suitable for industrial applications. This single-step, additive- and emission-free process leverages existing industrial infrastructure to provide a cost-effective and scalable CDR solution. By mineralizing the captured CO₂, Ceal ensures guaranteed and verifiable long-term sequestration, independent of the carbon market. The process also reduces the carbon footprint of industrial facilities and minimizes marine pollution from hazardous chemicals.
Target Audience
Ceal's primary customers are industrial facilities seeking to reduce their carbon footprint, lower operational costs, and generate new revenue streams through carbon dioxide removal and soft water production.
