Problem
The world needs to remove billions of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere annually to mitigate climate change and limit global warming to 1.5°C, but current carbon removal technologies are expensive and not widely deployed. Existing approaches lack scalability and often rely on fossil fuels, exacerbating the problem they aim to solve.
Solution
Octavia Carbon utilizes Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology to filter carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, enabling permanent storage in geological formations or conversion into sustainable products like Sustainable Aviation Fuels. By locating its DAC facilities in Kenya, Octavia Carbon leverages the country's abundant renewable geothermal energy, unique basalt geology in the Great Rift Valley for CO2 mineralization, and skilled workforce to significantly reduce operational costs and accelerate the global impact of DAC. The captured CO2 is injected into basalt formations where it mineralizes into stable carbonates, ensuring permanent storage for thousands of years.
Target Audience
Octavia Carbon's primary focus is on organizations and individuals seeking to offset their carbon emissions and invest in sustainable carbon removal solutions, as well as governments and corporations committed to achieving net-zero targets.
