Problem
Many properties rely on gas-powered equipment for heating and other essential functions, resulting in significant scope one emissions. Electrification, the primary alternative, can be expensive, require major equipment upgrades, and may not be as reliable in certain climates.
Solution
Sandbox Carbon offers the Carbon Dumpster, a modular system designed to capture CO2 and other pollutants directly from the exhaust of gas-powered equipment. Functioning like a waste disposal service for emissions, the Carbon Dumpster connects to existing equipment without requiring extensive retrofitting. Once full, the unit is collected, and the captured pollutants are safely disposed of by Sandbox Carbon. This approach allows properties to significantly reduce their carbon footprint without the capital expenditure and operational disruptions associated with switching to electric alternatives.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes property owners and managers seeking cost-effective and easily implementable solutions to reduce scope one emissions from gas-powered equipment.
Features
