Making climate change history
At Carbon America, capturing and securely storing carbon dioxide is more than a business. It’s our mission. It’s our passion.
We deliver the entire CO₂ capture-transport-storage value chain from screening through development, construction, operation and project closure – with a commitment to finding the right solution for emitters, communities, and the environment. We are a super developer.
Carbon America takes the complexity out of Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS).
World-class interdisciplinary team
Carbon America’s team of highly-skilled and experienced talent across the entire CCS value chain allows our projects to move from concept to operations up to 50% faster, and more cost effectively than typical CCS approaches.
The challenge
Carbon emissions have doubled since 1990. In the next ten years, we either quickly find ways to dramatically reduce carbon emissions, or pay a huge price for inaction. Carbon America’s ground-breaking model rapidly accelerates progress toward carbon capture goals.
37Gt
In 2019, the world emitted about 37 billion metric tons of fossil CO₂ into the atmosphere —double the emissions from 1990.
1.5°
To keep global temperature
rise under 1.5° C, we must:
Electrify as much as possible
Convert to renewables quickly
Capture 2 – 20 billion metric tons of CO₂ from industrial sources annually.
$100B
Climate change projections show we need to capture 800 gigatons of CO₂. This requires hundreds of billions of dollars in investments every year—and with 45Q, a new industry in the making.
Technology Agnostic, Thoughtful Execution
We seek the best technology for the job, integrating deep engineering analysis and DFMA techniques with careful supply chain work to provide reliable execution with strong economics.
