CDR value chain
Full CDR value chain
Carbonaide offers a full carbon credit value chain, in addition to the delivery of mineralization technology to concrete manufacturers. We make carbon removal easy, transparent, and verifiable, so that concrete manufacturers can focus on making concrete, while we take care of everything else.
CDR value chain
CO₂ capture and transportation
Carbonaide sources biogenic CO2 from biogas plants. Captured and liquefied CO2 is transported to the storage facility in ISO tanks where it is transfered in the stationary CO2 tank connected to the process module and curing chambers.
Storage via mineralization
CO2 chemically bound within concrete remains stored for >1000 years. Carbonate minerals are thermodynamically stable and will not be released back into the atmosphere, even if the concrete is demolished and recycled under current regulations and standards.
Certification
Carbonaide’s Service Platform is a cloud-based software solution that measures, manages and optimizes the usage and flow of CO₂ in the process. Mineralization volumes based on real time gas measurements in each production batch are compiled and sent for verification and certification.
CDR sale
CDR credits are available directly to corporate buyers via Carbonaide and are also offered through our marketplace partners.
We are offering CDR credits from existing factories and are also looking for catalytic pre-purchase commitments from future factories.
Mineralization process
- Carbonaide’s technology enables CO2 removal and storage through mineralization reactions that result in the formation of carbonate minerals.
- Carbon curing takes place in a highly controlled environment - in gas tight curing chambers to avoid leakage of CO₂ to the atmosphere. After the concrete is produced, it is transported to the curing chambers, where CO₂ from the tank is let in.
- Carbonaide process module creates optimal conditions for high mineralization rates by regulating CO₂ concentrations, temperature, humidity and pressure. The process uses electricity and biogenic CO₂. After the process ends, excess CO₂ is returned back to the CO₂ tank.
Our storage locations
Carbonaide’s CO₂ mineralization technology is fully integrated in Lakka precast factory in Joensuu, Finland, and Lipa Betoni is in the process of integrating our technology.
We are ready to scale with new concrete factories interested in adopting Carbonaide’s technology and becoming a storage partner.
