High performance chemistries for increased and accelerated precipitation & mineralization in CCUS, DAC, and concrete-based Carbon Storage systems

Improving CO2 storage with new patent-pending chemistries

Safe and easy-to-implement chemistries used in ppm levels that can improve both the rate and quantum of carbonate precipitation by 20% or more, without requiring additional energy or systems redesign. With applications in:

  • Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS)

  • Direct Air Capture

  • Concrete & Cement Aggregate-based CO2 Capture

Substantial benefits

  • Reduced energy costs per metric ton of CO2 stored

  • Reduced maintenance costs per metric ton of CO2 stored

  • Larger tax breaks and/or carbon credit revenues

About Mineraccel

A couple of years ago, we worked on creating a green surfactant-plasticizer combo for a very low carbon cementitious material that a client was developing. Inspired by some of our discoveries, we pushed the developmental thought process in a new direction - what if, instead of helping to create lower carbon cementitious material, we could instead increase the amount of CO2 that most types of concrete could absorb? And if we could increase the quantum, could we also increase the rate of absorption? What if we could expand that to any geological CO2 storage medium such as brucite, basalt, or limestone, where mineralization timescales are long? What if we could also promote uniform carbonate precipitate dispersion in the water/alkaline medium, which allows for a whole host of advantages for the operator around energy use reduction, improved filtration, and reduced maintenance costs?The answer to all of the above is a set of chemistries that we have developed and patented that show substantial improvements over the current status quo technologies, as well as being more cost effective. We are excited to bring these solutions to today’s carbon removal technology pioneers - augmenting the critical work they are engaged in to make the world a better place.
