The startup captures carbon dioxide from agricultural waste by storing organic carbon in anoxic conditions at the bottom of the Black Sea, significantly slowing decomposition rates. This method enhances long-term carbon sequestration, contributing to the restoration of the Earth's carbon balance and promoting climate stability.

Problem
Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise, driving climate change and necessitating effective and scalable carbon removal solutions. Existing carbon sequestration methods often lack the permanence required to address long-term climate goals. There is a need for methods that can reliably store carbon for millennia.
Solution
Rewind leverages the natural carbon capture abilities of plants and combines it with long-term storage in oxygen-free environments to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The company sources agricultural and forestry waste biomass and deposits it in anoxic environments such as the bottom of the Black Sea and underground mines. These oxygen-deprived conditions significantly slow decomposition, preserving the plant-based carbon for thousands of years. Rewind utilizes existing supply chains and proprietary technology to scale carbon removal operations.
Target Audience
Rewind targets organizations seeking to build carbon removal portfolios, forest managers looking for sustainable use of wood residue, farmers seeking sustainable use of agricultural residue, and policymakers working on ocean carbon removal strategies.
