Direct Air Capture

Our Direct Air Contactors capture atmospheric Carbon Dioxide using our unique alkaline capture solution, forming a Metal Carbonate.

 

This Metal Carbonate is then mixed with a Magnesium Silicate feedstock and heated, releasing the captured CO2, whilst also breaking down the Magnesium Silicate feedstock. This releases Metals contained in the feedstock for easy extraction and regenerates the capture solution.

 

The Magnesium Oxide formed by the process is then used in our Mineralization process to permanently store the captured CO2 permanently storing it as Magnesium Carbonate.

Mineralization

We use naturally occurring Magnesium Silicate feedstocks that are broken down to provide the Magnesium Oxide for mineralisation of captured CO2.

 

These Magnesium Silicate feedstocks contain varying quantities of valuable metals such as Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese and Chromium that are released when the feedstock is broken down.

 

Saprolites are Magnesium Silicates that are mined as a Nickel ore. Using Saprolites in our process, for every tonne of Nickel extracted between 10 and 16 tonnes of historical CO2 emissions would be captured and mineralized, permanently storing it as Magnesium Carbonate.

Mineral Feedstock

These Magnesium Silicate feedstocks contain varying quantities of valuable metals such as Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese and Chromium that are released when the feedstock is broken down.

 

Saprolites are Magnesium Silicates that are mined as a commercial Nickel ore. Using Saprolites in our process, for every tonne of Nickel extracted between 10 and 16 tonnes of historical CO2 emissions would be captured and mineralized, permanently storing it as Magnesium Carbonate.
