Green Carbon utilizes natural minerals to chemically bind with greenhouse gases such as CO2, ammonia, and radon, effectively reducing their concentration in the atmosphere. This technology not only lowers CO2 levels to cleaner than outside air but also enables energy savings by improving air quality in built environments.

Problem
Excessive concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) like CO2, ammonia, and radon in the atmosphere and built environments contribute to climate change and can negatively impact air quality, leading to increased energy consumption for ventilation. Existing carbon removal methods may have high negative emission ratios, meaning the process of removing CO2 emits a significant amount of CO2.
Solution
Green Carbon utilizes naturally occurring minerals to chemically bind with GHGs, effectively reducing their concentration. This enhanced weathering process accelerates the natural removal of CO2 and other harmful gases from the atmosphere. The technology can be applied in built environments to improve air quality, potentially reducing the need for extensive ventilation and leading to energy savings. The mineral-based products are designed to be environmentally safe and non-toxic, with harmless waste products.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes organizations and individuals seeking effective and sustainable carbon removal solutions, particularly those in the built environment and industries looking to reduce their GHG emissions.
