Ocean-less alkalinity enhancement for safe, measurable, durable carbon removal
Pit lakes for CDR
1.
When open-pit mines are closed they often fill with water, creating lakes. Tens of thousands of these lakes exist, on every continent save Antarctica.
2.
These lakes are great for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) since they are relatively contained systems in contact with the atmosphere. They very rarely have beneficial uses.
3.
We apply ocean carbon removal techniques in these lakes, improving the water quality and turning them into massive, permanent carbon sinks.
Aquarry is exploring a range of pit lake types and treatments. If you’re a mining company interested in turning a liability into an asset, an investor in early stage startups, or just interested in learning more, please get in touch.
