CREW Carbon
About CREW Carbon
CREW Carbon utilizes enhanced weathering technology to introduce natural minerals into wastewater treatment processes, permanently capturing CO2 as stable bicarbonate. This method improves treatment efficiency and safety while reducing operational costs and enabling compliance with environmental regulations.
```xml <problem> Wastewater treatment plants face increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining efficient and safe operations. Traditional methods for pH control and alkalinity optimization can be costly and pose safety risks to operators. Additionally, there is a need for verifiable and permanent carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions in the wastewater treatment sector. </problem> <solution> CREW Carbon offers a technology that integrates enhanced weathering into wastewater treatment processes, enabling permanent carbon dioxide removal through the capture of CO2 as stable bicarbonate. By introducing natural minerals into the treatment process, CREW enhances treatment efficiency and safety while reducing operational costs associated with conventional pH control methods. The process involves a closed-system approach with input and output sensor arrays for precise monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of carbon removal. This approach allows wastewater facilities to valorize the CO2 removal benefits, improve biological treatment stability, and meet stringent permit regulations. </solution> <features> - Enhanced weathering process using natural minerals to capture CO2 as stable bicarbonate - Closed-system measurement with sensor arrays for precise monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of carbon removal - Cost savings relative to conventional methods for neutralization, buffering capacity, and alkalinity - Enhanced safety by replacing conventional chemicals for pH control - Improved biological and nutrient treatment to help facilities meet stringent permit regulations - Durable, year-round CDR that is permanently stored as a stable form of dissolved bicarbonate - Plug-and-play approach utilizing existing wastewater infrastructure and permits </features> <target_audience> CREW Carbon targets municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities seeking cost-effective, safe, and verifiable carbon dioxide removal solutions, as well as organizations looking to purchase high-quality carbon credits. </target_audience> <revenue_model> CREW Carbon generates revenue by enabling alkalinity dosing at wastewater facilities and valorizing the CO2 removal benefits. The company is scaling to kiloton carbon dioxide removal, with a nameplate capacity of 4000 tons of CO2 annually at one site and 2000 tons of CO2 annually at another. </revenue_model> ```
