Karbonwerke captures and permanently stores biogenic CO2 from biogas plants and biorefineries using established CCUS infrastructure. The company manages the entire CO2 commodity stream, from high-concentration capture to deep underground sequestration. This process delivers certified, continuously monitored carbon removal credits for corporate climate action.

Problem
Biogas plants and biorefineries, while producing renewable energy, release biogenic CO2 as a byproduct, contributing to atmospheric CO2 levels. Existing carbon capture methods often struggle with the low CO2 concentration found in direct air or flue gas, making efficient CO2 removal challenging and costly.
Solution
Karbonwerke captures and liquefies high-concentration biogenic CO2 directly from renewable energy sources, transforming it into verifiable carbon removal credits. By focusing on biogenic sources with high CO2 concentrations (up to 96%), Karbonwerke achieves unmatched capture efficiency compared to direct air capture or flue gas capture. The captured CO2 is then compressed into liquid form, precisely monitored during transport, and permanently stored deep underground. This process ensures a scalable and continuously monitored solution for permanent carbon storage, addressing the challenge of atmospheric CO2 emissions.
Target Audience
Karbonwerke's primary customers are companies seeking trusted and permanent carbon removal credits, as well as biogas plants and biorefineries looking to commercialize their biogenic CO2 sources.
