Industry Problem

Rewind is addressing the urgent need for large-scale, long-term carbon removal by preventing CO₂ from re-entering the atmosphere through slow-decomposing biomass storage in anoxic environments. It tackles both climate change and the limitations of short-lived carbon capture methods.

R&D Focus

Rewind is conducting research and development in biomass-based carbon removal with a niche focus on long-term carbon storage in anoxic environments, particularly in the deep waters of the Black Sea and underground mines. Their R&D integrates climate science, marine biology, and sustainable land use to scale a nature-based, durable carbon sequestration solution.

Innovative Solution

Rewind utilises plants to capture CO₂ from the atmosphere naturally and then submerges the biomass into the deep, anoxic waters of the Black Sea, where the lack of oxygen prevents decomposition and CO₂ release. This process enables affordable, safe, and long-term carbon storage at a gigaton scale, making it an effective nature-based carbon removal solution.

Solution Effectiveness

Rewind’s solution is highly effective, with the potential to remove CO₂ at a gigaton scale and store it for thousands of years by placing plant biomass in anoxic environments such as the Black Sea. The durability and scalability of this approach are backed by scientific research and reinforced by a $5 million funding round to expand operations.

Products

Product

Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) is Rewind’s core offering that captures CO₂ using plant biomass and stores it long-term in anoxic environments (e.g., the Black Sea or underground mines) to prevent decomposition and carbon release. – Customer Reviews – NA

Star Product

Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) is Rewind’s flagship and only core solution, making it the star product. It stands out due to its ability to deliver permanent, gigaton-scale CO₂ removal by accelerating a natural process—using plant biomass to capture CO₂ and storing it in anoxic environments such as the Black Sea. Its effectiveness, scientific backing, long-term storage (thousands of years), and scalability position it as a high-impact, climate-relevant solution, attracting funding and partnerships globally.

Demo Product or Complete Product?

Rewind’s flagship solution, Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS), was launched in 2022, coinciding with the company’s founding in Tel Aviv, Israel. This innovative approach leverages the Black Sea’s anoxic conditions to store carbon-rich biomass, preventing decomposition and ensuring long-term carbon sequestration. In November 2023, Rewind secured $5 million in seed funding to scale its operations and named its first customer, Supercritical, a carbon removal marketplace.
