ABOUT US
In order to avoid the worst effects of climate change, the world needs to remove billions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere annually by 2050.
2050 IPCC carbon capture goal: 10 billion tonnes per year*
All of BluSky's biomass feedstocks are waste, meaning there's minimal cost for inputs into our manufacturing process.
While most carbon removal technologies use massive amounts of energy, BluSky anticipates producing enough surplus energy to power its operations.
BluSky's technology is a series of simple technologies utilized in a unique way, making manufacturing less complex.
Utilizing proprietary processes, the Kronos direct air capture system can potentially capture CO2 for less energy than current technologies*
Previous Solutions
To reach net zero by planting trees would require reforesting an area the size of the United States and Canada combined (1 to 2 billion hectares) and could take between one and two thousand years 1, 2
Direct Air Capture that works like a CO2 vacuum, is currently too energy intensive and expensive
Geological Sequestration, pumping CO2 underground, needs expensive infrastructure
BluSky Solutions
BluSky's technology is designed to require less capital investment than many other CDR solutions
BluSky makes renewable, consistent energy rather than consuming energy
BluSky's solution converts CO2 to rock, eliminating disposal infrastructure
Our Vulcan II biomass pyrolysis pilot system was successfully commissioned January 2024.
BluSky’s Vulcan II and Vulcan Heavy systems are designed to capture CO2 in two main ways: conversion of organic waste into biochar and conversion of industrial wastes into carbonate rocks through a process called pyrolysis. This generates revenue both from the sale of char and the sale of carbon credits off the char through a carbon credit brokerage.
BluSky continues to develop its proprietary technology.
To process material at an even larger scale, we connect up to three scalable systems within replicable facilities known as ‘Kiloplex.’ Integrating the Vulcan Heavy along with the Medusa, and/or the Kronos systems at an industrial scale, we aim to replace lost carbon, improve crop yields, boost water retention, and sequester CO2 all at the same time.
