Mineralization is a naturally occurring geological process. When CO2 comes into contact with reactive rocks such as peridotite, it reacts.
This partnership shows that industrial companies can play a leading role in permanent carbon removal.
We highly value our partnership with Holcim and 44.01 on this carbon capture project
This is a first-of-a-kind project in the Middle East. We are proud to be collaborating.
