The Need for a Breakthrough Technology

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. In 2005 there were 25 billion metric tons of CO2 released into the atmosphere.

Existing strategies to deal with CO2 emissions include capturing the CO2 and storing them in underground geological formations and the ocean floor. We believe that these are potentially dangerous solutions. Instead, a simple and safe solution must be applied at the source to transform the carbon dioxide into useful products.  We believe that our patent-pending GreenCarbon Technology can be the solution.

GreenCarbon Advantages

• Stability over the long term - The production of mineral carbonates insures a permanent fix rather than tempo­rary storage of the CO2, thereby ensuring no legacy issues for future generations;
   
• Immense Capacity - Raw materials for binding CO2 exist in vast quantities across the globe in amounts that far exceed even the most optimistic estimates of coal reserves (~10,000 × 10 ⁹ tons); (1)
   
• Economic Viability – The sale of value-added products created during the carbonation process has the potential to offset carbon sequestration costs.
