Innovation

Industry Problem

CarbonBlue is tackling the problem of industrial carbon emissions driving climate change. They aim to transform industries into carbon-neutral or carbon-negative by removing CO₂ from the atmosphere without harming natural ecosystems.

R&D Focus

CarbonBlue’s R&D focuses on scalable, water-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology and sustainable, low-emission lime production. Their niche lies in developing closed-loop systems that extract pure CO₂ from any water source for industrial use, enabling carbon-negative operations across diverse industries such as eFuels and desalination.

Innovative Solution

CarbonBlue’s solution uses a simple, scalable technology that removes CO₂ from any water source by mineralizing it with lime to form limestone, allowing decarbonated water to be returned safely to absorb more atmospheric CO₂. Their process requires only heat and water inputs, produces pure CO₂ that can be sequestered or reused, and relies on low-emission, renewable-energy-based lime production, making it a sustainable and efficient carbon removal system adaptable to various industries and environments.

Solution Effectiveness

CarbonBlue’s technology offers a highly effective carbon removal solution by enabling scalable, low-energy carbon dioxide extraction from any water source without chemical alteration, allowing continuous atmospheric CO₂ absorption. Their closed-loop system produces pure CO₂ suitable for sequestration or industrial use, while sustainable lime production minimizes emissions. Deployed on-site or near-site, even in remote locations, their modular approach reduces supply chain costs and environmental impact, accelerating industry-wide decarbonization and supporting net-zero goals with measurable carbon credits from verified CO₂ removal.

Product

– CarbonBlue CDR Technology – Removes pure CO2 from any water source through a closed-loop, water-based process to achieve carbon-negative or carbon-neutral industrial operations. The decarbonated water is returned to absorb more CO2, while pure CO2 can be sequestered or utilized. – Sustainable Carbon-Negative Lime – Produced at low temperatures with renewable energy and zero emissions, this lime captures CO2 in industrial applications and supports environmental rehabilitation, providing a green alternative to traditional lime. – Green CO2 for eFuels – Provides an endless, on-site or near-site supply of pure, sustainable CO2 feedstock for eFuel production, enabling remote or distributed facilities to operate without complex supply chains. – Integration with Desalination Plants – Reduces carbon footprint and operational costs by decarbonating water intake, improving membrane efficiency, lowering chemical use, and providing on-site CO2 for industrial needs. – Customer Reviews – NA

Star Product

CarbonBlue CDR Technology is the core innovation that enables scalable, efficient, and universal carbon dioxide removal directly from any water source. Its closed-loop process produces pure CO2 and decarbonated water without altering the water’s chemistry, making it highly versatile and deployable anywhere. This technology addresses the urgent need for large-scale carbon removal with low energy requirements and minimal maintenance, forming the foundation for all other applications such as sustainable lime production, eFuels, and integration with desalination plants.

Demo Product or Complete Product?

CarbonBlue was founded in January 2022 by Dr. Dan Deviri and Iddo Tsur. Their flagship product, the CarbonBlue CDR Technology, is currently in the pilot and early deployment stage. The first pilot facility was constructed at the Maagan Michael desalination plant in Israel, marking the initial real-world implementation of their carbon dioxide removal system.
