Problem
The disposal of organic waste, estimated at 15 gigatons annually, contributes significantly to environmental issues through landfilling, waterway contamination, and decomposition, releasing greenhouse gases. Current waste management practices often fail to utilize this waste as a resource for carbon removal.
Solution
Vaulted Deep addresses the challenge of organic waste disposal by employing geologic sequestration to permanently remove carbon. The company buries organic waste in stable underground formations, ensuring durability for over 10,000 years, effectively converting waste into a carbon sink. This approach aims to remove 5 gigatons of carbon annually by utilizing a mature technology proven in hydrocarbon storage. By sequestering waste in deep earth formations, Vaulted Deep prevents the release of greenhouse gases and contributes to long-term carbon removal.
