Carbfix

Carbfix is an innovative company whose purpose is to fight climate change by dramatically increasing carbon disposal globally. Carbfix has developed, built, and demonstrated a unique patent-pending technology to capture and inject CO2-charged water into subsurface basaltic rock formations. Once injected, the CO2 reacts with metals in the basalt to form stable carbonate minerals. Studies have shown that over 95% of the CO2 has mineralised within two years.
