Why Permanence Matters
Temporary fixes delay the problem. Our mission: make geologic and mineral sequestration the default endgame—so no carbon liability passes to future generations.
The Permanent Carbon Vault: Capturing & Burying CO₂ at $10–$50/ton
Our endgame blueprint charts the path to $10–$50/ton removal: next-gen modular DAC, AI-optimized mineralization, shared transport hubs, and aligned policy levers. We show how these breakthroughs lock carbon away forever while slashing costs.

1. The Science of Carbon Mineralization: Turning CO₂ into Stone
We unpack the chemistry that converts CO₂ into stable carbonates, from natural basalt carbonation to engineered binders. Learn why these reactions are irreversible on human timescales and how we can accelerate them at scale.
Read2. The Global Need for Deep CO₂ Storage: Where & Why?
We map the world’s ideal geologic reservoirs—basalt formations, ultramafic rocks, saline aquifers, depleted fields—and assess capacity, integrity, and accessibility.
Read3. The Economics of Large-Scale Carbon Sequestration
A deep dive into cost breakdowns, reduction levers, and financing models that can turn carbon removal into a sustainable, trillion-dollar industry.
Read4. AI-Driven CO₂ Removal: How Artificial Intelligence Accelerates Sequestration
From predictive geology to generative sorbent design and autonomous operations, discover how AI cuts costs and speeds up permanent CO₂ removal.
Read5. Policy & Market Mechanisms: Aligning Incentives for Permanent Storage
A playbook of carbon price floors, removal credits, vault certification, public-private partnerships, and de-risking tools to make permanent CO₂ storage the economic default.
Read6. Mega-Scale Carbon Sequestration: Blueprint for a Global Program
Designing a planet-scale network of CO₂ transport corridors, regional hubs, and multilateral governance to sequester gigatons annually.
Read7. Risks & Challenges in CO₂ Sequestration: What Could Go Wrong?
An in-depth look at technical, environmental, seismic, and social risks in carbon sequestration—and how robust monitoring and governance turn risks into trust.
Read8. Everyday CO₂ Capture vs. Permanent Burial: Choosing the Right Tools
A side-by-side look at short-term capture routes—fuels, chemicals, materials—versus deep storage, and guidance on when each belongs in your carbon toolkit.
Read9. A Legacy Not a Liability: Why CO₂ Belongs Back Underground
A manifesto making the moral, scientific, and practical case for permanent carbon storage. We challenge every stakeholder to commit to a future where no carbon liability is passed to generations yet unborn.
