As global CO₂ levels continue to rise, it is crucial to find sustainable solutions for permanently removing carbon from the atmosphere.
Using hydrogen and captured CO₂—the same inputs as for green methanol— the cSink® process produces Sub Zero Carbon Fiber, a clean solid graphite that can be stored or reused.
The cSink®, when integrated with the rest of the Modern Forest, -a large-scale facility designed to capture CO₂ from the atmosphere and turn it into valuable resources like green methanol fuel-, is what enables Sub Zero® Methanol to become the world’s first climate-positive energy carrier.
cSink® technology enables efficient removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
CO2 is transformed into solid carbon (graphite) and securely stored, contributing to long-term reduction of atmospheric CO₂ concentration.
The cSink® process is environmentally friendly, preventing the conversion of CO2 into harmful gases and creating a safe carbon storage.
The technology can be deployed on a global scale to address the issue of rising atmospheric CO₂ levels.
Solid carbon can be repurposed in various industries, such as manufacturing and construction, providing additional value beyond carbon storage.
By integrating cSink® with other Obrist technologies, such as OBRIST DAC+ and Sub Zero® Methanol, we provide a comprehensive solution for reducing atmospheric CO₂ levels and creating valuable byproducts. This approach is not only scalable but also essential for achieving climate-positive goals and ensuring a sustainable future.
Obrist's Direct Air Capture (DAC+) technology captures CO₂ directly from the atmosphere. The captured CO₂ is used as the primary input for the cSink® process.
Using solar power, water extracted from the air undergoes electrolysis to produce hydrogen (H₂), which is a key ingredient for both Sub Zero® Methanol and cSink® production.
The captured CO₂ is reacted with hydrogen in a controlled process. Instead of converting the CO₂ into methanol as with Sub Zero® Methanol production, this process results in the formation of solid carbon and water.
The solid carbon is chemically inert, making it safe for permanent storage. This graphite can either be stored indefinitely or repurposed for industrial applications such as carbon fiber or construction materials.
Inert carbon can be stored underground forever or converted into products that will not be burned like:
