Why CO2 rocks

Carbon dioxide capture from combustion and CO2 direct air capture ​from the atmosphere are at a technology readiness level where they ​need storage now. But transporting this CO2 has a pipeline problem.


Once carbon dioxide is removed from air, it needs to be injected deep ​underground in depleted oil and gas wells, or sandstone, salt ​reservoir, or volcanic rock formations. But these underground sinks ​are not always located where CO2 can be efficiently captured.


The pipelines proposed to transport this CO2 from capture point to ​storage wells often face public backlash, long permitting periods and ​use of eminent domain. CryoCellar can enable shallow underground ​storage in produce fields, with technology that turns CO2 into rocks.


This process has agricultural co-benefits that allow CO2 to be put to ​work for humanity, rather than burying the CO2 deep underground.

Ne​squehonite

  • Nesquehonite is fast-forming and stable at pH under 2.7 and temperatures up to 207 F.


  • The resulting 1/4in. rocks have a high surface area, functioning to improve soil aeration ​and water holding capacity, making roots more resilient to drought, floods and disease.


  • This extremely cold reaction enables off-grid produce cooling, which improves shelf-life.
