OUR TECHNOLOGY
Advanced carbon storage. Powered by nature, perfected by science.
Leveraging brucite deposits across the globe, CO2 Lock's mineralization process can lock away millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide — permanently.
OUR PROCESS
Taking a hard-rock approach to carbon sequestration.
Brucite sequestration is a scalable, cost-effective solution for advanced CO₂ storage. This reliable carbon sink mineral supports sequestration that fits seamlessly into various industry processes.
BACKGROUND
The science of hard-rock sequestration.
Through natural reactions with magnesium-rich minerals such as brucite (magnesium hydroxide), we convert CO₂ into stable, solid carbonates, creating a safe and enduring form of carbon storage.
HOW IT WORKS
Transforming the carbon storage process.
Learn about our carbon mineralization methodology:
In-Situ Sequestration
We inject CO₂-enriched water into subsurface rock formations, specifically targeting brucite-rich serpentinite deposits.
HOW IT WORKS
IN-SITU MINERALIZATION
The in-situ process requires minimal surface disruption.
INJECT
CO₂-enriched water is injected into subsurface rock formations, targeting brucite-rich deposits.
CATALYZE
The injection process releases magnesium, which reacts with the CO₂ forming stable carbonate minerals
SEQUESTER
Once the carbonate minerals are formed, the carbon is permanently locked away.
OUR PROCESS
Understanding in-situ carbon mineralization.
This natural, underground process offers a low-impact, long-term carbon storage solution that requires minimal surface disruption while ensuring carbon is securely sequestered beneath the Earth's surface.
EX-SITU MINERALIZATION
An ex-situ process harnesses surface-level brucite deposits.
STACKED ROCK STORAGE
Exposed rock formations react naturally with atmospheric CO₂ over time, increasing mineralization.
ENHANCED ROCK WEATHERING
Crushed rock is spread over land to accelerate CO₂ absorption through natural weathering.
MINERALIZATION REACTOR
A controlled environment optimizes chemical reactions to rapidly convert CO₂ into stable mineral forms.
OUR PROCESS
Understanding ex-situ carbon mineralization.
For an alternative approach, ex-situ mineralization involves extracting brucite-rich serpentinite from surface-level deposits. The extracted rock is processed through one of three methods to maximize carbon capture.
A PERMANENT CARBON SOLUTION
CO₂ Lock is committed to leveraging Earth’s natural systems to combat climate change. Our technology ensures that captured CO₂ is permanently stored in rock, reducing atmospheric carbon levels and supporting global decarbonization efforts.
