Innovation

Industry Problem

Vaulted Deep tackles overloaded waste systems and rising carbon pollution by permanently storing organic waste deep underground.

R&D Focus

Vaulted Deep focuses its R&D on geological slurry injection technology for permanent underground carbon removal by securely storing organic waste, targeting the niche of carbon-negative waste management and bioslurry sequestration.

Innovative Solution

Vaulted Deep uses proven slurry injection technology, originally from the oil and gas industry—to securely inject and permanently store organic waste deep underground in geological formations, preventing pollution and removing carbon from the atmosphere for over 10,000 years.

Solution Effectiveness

Vaulted Deep’s solution has proven highly effective, having removed over 14,423 tonnes of CO₂ with a carbon removal durability of more than 10,000 years. Their process achieves over 95% carbon efficiency while using minimal energy, less than 0.14 gigajoules per tonne of CO₂ removed, and holds the potential for a global impact of 5 gigatons of carbon removal.

Products

Product

Vaulted Deep offers a carbon removal service that collects organic wastes such as biosolids, agricultural, and paper mill sludge, converts them into a carbon-rich slurry, and injects it deep underground for permanent carbon sequestration. This process prevents CO₂ and methane emissions, reduces pollution and health risks from waste, and provides verified carbon removal credits to help clients meet their climate goals. – Customer Review- “Vaulted Deep has brought greater flexibility to our biosolids disposal operations. Their ability to manage disposal even during wet weather-when land application isn’t an option-has been invaluable” – Dillan Curtis, Assistant Director of Public Works

Star Product

Vaulted Deep’s star product is its patented geologic slurry injection technology because it enables rapid, large-scale, and permanent carbon removal by securely storing organic waste deep underground. This innovative approach not only tackles climate change effectively but also offers environmental and community health benefits by reducing harmful waste emissions and pollutants.
