# Vycarb

##### ACCELERATING THE RATE OF CLIMATE INNOVATION BY:

Offering a low-cost technology to permanently, instantly, and safely capture and store low-purity CO2 in natural water using minerals.

[Carbon Capture and Utilization](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/carbon-capture-and-utilization) [Carbon & Methane Management](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/carbon-methane-management) [Cohort 25-1](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/cohort-25-1)

##### PROBLEM FOCUS

While incentives for carbon capture and storage are increasing, adoption is prohibited by the cost, energy, and infrastructure required to capture and condense CO2 to high concentrations, transport to specific geologic conditions, inject in specific geologies, and monitor over decades.

##### TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Vycarb's technology integrates CO2 capture, storage, and monitoring by converting CO2 of varying purities into permanent dissolved HCO3 and CO3 in water using low-cost alkaline minerals. The ex-situ mineralization process optimizes reaction rates for safety and permanence, while real-time sensing quantifies CO2, HCO3, and CO3 in water to validate and control the process. This enables fully measured, safe, and permanent on-site CO2 capture and storage for a wide range of industrial emissions.
