What is CarbFix?
CarbFix is the industrial process to capture CO2 and other sour gases from emission sources and permanently store it as rock in the subsurface. The process can furthermore be applied in relation to direct capture of CO2 from air. CarbFix provides a secure, cost-effective and environmentally benign way for reducing atmospheric CO2 levels and thus fighting climate change.
