DeltaSpark turns CO₂ from waste into a resource by transforming a natural process into a profitable industrial technology. In nature, atmospheric CO₂ is permanently locked away by reacting with minerals through a process known as CO₂ mineralisation. However, this geological process takes millions of years. Inspired by nature, DeltaSpark accelerates mineralisation by millions of times using electrochemistry, transforming a naturally slow process into a scalable and profitable industrial solution. Using CO₂ emissions from industries together with waste minerals, DeltaSpark converts emissions and construction waste into carbon-negative construction materials, clean hydrogen, sulfuric acid and oxygen. DeltaSpark's solution addresses three major climate challenges simultaneously: • Permanent CO₂ removal: CO₂ is permanently converted into carbon-negative construction materials, preventing its release back into the atmosphere. • Industrial decarbonisation: Heavy industries can significantly reduce their emissions without fundamentally changing their existing processes. • Circular economy: Waste minerals from landfills are transformed into valuable products, reducing landfill disposal while replacing raw materials. By generating multiple revenue streams from carbon removal, DeltaSpark transforms industrial CO₂ emissions from a liability into a source of profit. By integrating CO₂ in our economy, DeltaSpark reduces CO₂ removal cost, accelerates industrial deployment, and supports the transition towards a net-zero and ultimately carbon-negative—economy.
The construction sector is responsible for approximately 37% of global energy- and process-related CO₂ emissions, with cement production alone accounting for around 7–8% of global CO₂ emissions. Despite increasing pressure to decarbonise, there are still no scalable and economically viable solutions for permanently removing and storing CO₂ at industrial scale. In addition to being a major source of CO₂ emissions, the construction sector also suffers from poor circularity, with billions of tonnes of mineral waste from building demolition and renovation still ending up in landfill every year instead of being recycled into new construction materials.
DeltaSpark addresses these challenges by transforming industrial CO₂ emissions and waste minerals from landfill into valuable products through an electrochemically accelerated mineralisation process. Inspired by nature, DeltaSpark’s solution accelerates the natural process of CO₂ mineralisation by millions of times. CO₂ captured from industrial sources is converted electrochemically and stored in waste minerals from landfill to permanently bind CO₂ into carbon-negative construction materials, while producing cheap clean hydrogen, oxygen and sulfuric acid. Unlike conventional CO₂ capture, which requires costly transport and geological storage, DeltaSpark permanently stores CO₂ directly on-site while simultaneously producing commodity industrial products. By combining permanent CO₂ removal with the valorisation of waste mineral streams, DeltaSpark transforms two industrial waste streams into marketable products. The revenues generated from cheap hydrogen, oxygen, green chemicals and construction materials offset the cost of carbon removal, making permanent CO₂ removal economically viable and scalable for heavy industries.
DeltaSpark combines permanent CO₂ removal, industrial decarbonisation and circular resource recovery within a single integrated technology. Inspired by nature, our process accelerates CO₂ mineralisation by millions of times using electrochemistry, enabling permanent CO₂ storage directly at industrial sites. Unlike existing solutions that typically address only one part of the value chain, DeltaSpark simultaneously converts industrial CO₂ emissions and waste minerals from landfill into carbon-negative construction materials, cheap clean hydrogen, sulfuric acid and oxygen. This creates multiple revenue streams from a single process, significantly reducing the net cost of permanent CO₂ removal. The technology is designed as a modular, containerised system that can be deployed directly at industrial sites, avoiding the need for CO₂ transport while enabling rapid and scalable deployment. By transforming two industrial waste streams into valuable products, DeltaSpark makes permanent carbon removal economically attractive and accelerates the transition towards a circular, net-zero industry.
