Problem
Current carbon removal methods are not scaling quickly enough to meet climate goals, and permanent carbon removal solutions often prove costly, energy-intensive, and lack scalability, while nature-based solutions may lack permanence.
Solution
SinkCo Labs leverages the ocean's capacity as the Earth’s largest carbon sink to provide permanent carbon storage optimized for supply chain decarbonization. The company sources biomass from agricultural waste, such as nutshells, maize, and sawdust, and then grinds and mixes it with seawater. This biomass slurry is then injected into ocean sub-sediments using a patent-pending micro-injection system, accelerating a natural process to safely and permanently store carbon in the anoxic layer of marine sediments, limiting oxygen exposure and diffusive transport. This biogeomimetic approach offers a scalable and sustainable alternative for carbon dioxide removal.
Target Audience
SinkCo Labs targets organizations seeking supply chain decarbonization and gigaton-scale carbon dioxide removal, including those in the agricultural sector and companies committed to carbon neutrality.
