Vateris provides a modular carbon capture and utilisation platform that integrates directly into cement, lime, waste‑to‑energy and chemical plants, converting flue‑gas CO₂ and calcium‑rich waste streams into vaterite‑based calcium carbonate (GypCarb). The resulting mineral product serves as a high‑performance supplementary cementitious material or agricultural input, delivering lower carbon intensity and improved material properties without altering existing production processes. The technology is designed for scalable, plug‑in deployment, enabling permanent mineral storage of CO₂ and carbon‑negative material lifecycles.

Problem
Industrial cement, lime, and chemical plants emit large volumes of CO₂, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Existing carbon capture solutions often require separate infrastructure, add operational complexity, and do not generate additional value for the plant.
Solution
Vateris offers a modular carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) platform that integrates directly into existing industrial facilities, converting flue‑gas CO₂ and calcium‑rich waste streams into vaterite‑based calcium carbonate (GypCarb) and other high‑performance mineral products. The process locks CO₂ permanently in stable solid minerals, eliminating the need for transport or storage. Produced minerals can be used as premium supplementary cementitious material (SOP) in concrete or as agricultural inputs, delivering lower carbon intensity and improved material performance without altering existing production lines. The technology is designed for scalable, modular deployment, allowing global roll‑out across diverse industrial sites.
Target Audience
Primary customers are cement and concrete producers, lime manufacturers, waste‑to‑energy facilities, and other heavy‑industry plants seeking to reduce carbon emissions while enhancing material performance.
