CarbEnZero is developing an enzyme-powered platform that captures CO₂ directly from industrial flue gas and accelerates its conversion into stable carbonate minerals, while creating new opportunities to recover value from industrial feedstocks.
Built for the demands of real-world industry, CarbEnZero brings together extreme biology and mineral chemistry to create a smarter path for carbon management. Our platform is designed to simplify the route from emissions to durable carbon solutions, with scalability and industrial practicality at its core.
Calcium carbonate can be sold to the rapidly growing strengthened concrete industry.
Calcium carbonate increases concrete strength by 30%-70% and increases durability as well.
Nature has already evolved enzymes capable of functioning in environments where conventional biology struggles.
CarbEnZero is harnessing enzymes from extremophilic microorganisms and developing them for demanding carbon-management applications. Their ability to operate under challenging conditions provides the biological foundation for our technology.
Industrial feedstocks contain more than the materials needed for mineralization. CarbEnZero is developing an integrated approach that looks beyond CO₂ removal to unlock additional value from these resources.
This circular approach creates opportunities to reduce waste, recover useful resources, and unlock new value from materials that might otherwise be overlooked.
Carbon mineralization opens the door to more than permanent CO₂ storage. The carbonate materials generated through the CarbEnZero platform have the potential to enter established industrial value chains, including construction and advanced building materials.
By connecting carbon management with useful material production, CarbEnZero is working toward a model where captured carbon can become part of the infrastructure we build with.
Carbonate minerals can serve as useful inputs for cementitious and construction-related applications.
CarbEnZero is exploring how mineralized carbon can contribute to stronger, more durable building materials.
