Problem
Cement, lime, and steel production generate substantial CO2 emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. Traditional methods of carbon capture and storage often face challenges related to long-term stability and potential environmental risks. Ocean acidification is further exacerbated by increasing atmospheric CO2 levels.
Solution
Cquestr8 employs mineral carbonation to permanently store CO2 emissions in stable, carbon-neutral materials. This process transforms captured CO2 into valuable resources for the construction and industrial sectors, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional materials. By converting CO2 into solid minerals, Cquestr8's technology effectively reduces the carbon footprint associated with cement, lime, and steel production. The resulting materials can be used in various applications, contributing to a circular economy and mitigating the impact of CO2 on the environment. This approach also helps address ocean acidification by permanently removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Target Audience
Cquestr8's primary customers include companies in the cement, lime, and steel industries seeking to reduce their carbon emissions, as well as construction firms and manufacturers looking for sustainable building materials.
