As part of achieving 2015 Paris Climate Agreement goal, the world needs to capture and store 10 Gt of CO2 per annum until 2050. Currently, global carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacities are only at 0.04 Gt/a.

According to McKinsey “even in conservative scenarios, CCS demand would reach approximately 2 Gt/a by 2050—a 60-fold increase over today’s pipeline of projects”

Many of projects in the market do not provide for reliable measuring and third-party verification of stored CO2 volumes, or are not permanent storages.

It's not a question of which CCS solutions will win, but rather whether there will be even remotely enough of efficient, scalable and verifiable solutions with scale-up potential to meet the demand

BioCarst (BIOlogically accelerated CARbon STorage) is a mineral carbonation process based on microbialy accelerated weathering of ultramafic (magnesium rich) mining waste rocks and precipitation of magnesium carbonates, stable minerals which can store CO2 for thousands of years.

BioCarst is an innovative, efficient, scalable and verifiable solution for permanent storage of carbon dioxide which transforms legacy ultramafic mine tailings from an environmental problem into a carbon capture and storage solution.
The process is applicable to numerous mine tailings globally and has potential to store gigatons of CO2.
