Company Overview

Blue Planet economically captures carbon and criteria pollutants through a proprietary mineralization process and converts them into high-value aggregates for use in roadways and green buildings.

Blue Planet provides a unique solution to the global carbon capture problem. The world produces over 15 gigatons of carbon dioxide from stationary-source flue gas emitters every year. Air pollution from burning fossil fuels kills over 1 million people per year and is the primary cause of climate change. With Blue Planet's patented solution every ton of carbon dioxide can be permanently captured to produce about 2 tons of calcium carbonate used in construction materials for roads and buildings. The world currently uses over 15 gigatons of concrete and mines over 20 gigatons of limestone per year.

The current method of carbon capture and storage is to inject waste CO2 underground, often into leaking depleted oil and gas reservoirs to enhance oil recovery. Blue Planet provides the only economically and environmentally sustainable solution to sequester carbon dioxide by converting it permanently into products with a large enough demand. As the Company’s patented systems remove 50-80% of the CO2 from traditional power plants, cement plants, refineries, or other manufacturing facilities, the CO2 is absorbed in solution to form bicarbonate which is used to precipitate carbonate minerals and permanently sequestered in green building materials that include cement, aggregate, concrete and solar reflective roofing and pavement coatings. Blue Planet has the potential to sequester carbon in the form of sand, gravel, reflective minerals, and cement, which are the key ingredients of concrete, roofing shingles, road beds, and many other products used globally at massive scales.

Blue Planet's technology not only reduces CO2 emissions from power plants, but by repurposing the CO2 into building materials, it also reduces CO2 emissions from the manufacture of building materials. As this technology is widely adopted, atmospheric CO2 emissions will be significantly curtailed while profitably producing a range of high-demand building products.

Carbon Sequestration Module

Blue Planet’s carbon capture and mineralization technology is deployed in modular units at coal-fired and natural gas-fired power plants, and cement plants. Blue Planet’s containerized units can be rapidly manufactured off-site and rapidly permitted and deployed. The containers can be ‘numbered up’ in serial fashion, expanding capacity incrementally. This will minimize permit delays, host-site disruption and construction planning costs. Each Blue Planet’s module captures approximately 9,000 tons of CO2 per year. Blue Planet converts the carbon dioxide to bicarbonate solutions which is used to precipitate carbonate minerals (approximately 21,000 tons per year) and permanently sequestered in green building materials. Blue Planet can sequester carbon dioxide in the form of sand, gravel, reflective minerals, and cement supplements, which are the key ingredients of concrete, roofing shingles, pavement sections, and many other products used globally at massive scales.

Air Pollution Control License

Blue Planet’s carbon capture and mineralization technology offers CO2 capture as an emissions control service to address existing and future CO2 cap-and-trade programs at state, federal and international levels. In the US, the service of capturing the CO2 and other lesser-regulated criteria pollutants from the emitters, such as power or cement plants, will enable plant compliance with EPA air quality regulations. Similar legislation is developing worldwide as awareness of the economic impacts of climate change is becoming clear to world leaders. An international agreement including the United States and China is expected to result from the climate change meetings in Paris this December. Potential sites include electricity generating stations powered by coal or natural gas, cement plants, petroleum and/or biofuel refineries. This license fee is based on the amount of CO2 sequestered.

End Product Royalty Fee

Blue Planet's process permanently sequesters carbon dioxide in various building materials resulting in carbon neutral and carbon negative products. The bicarbonate materials also have value added features such as: 1) Light weight aggregate and bagged concrete where portability and specific gravity are significant design concerns. 2) Roofing granules that can reflect up to 96%, and up to 75% as shingles. Common asphalt roofing reflects only 10%. By reducing the absorption of solar heat, the use of energy for air-conditioning can be minimized during hot summer months. 3) High solar-reflective cool pigments can be synthesized to color roofs and exterior walls, allowing buildings to absorb less heat from the sun, remaining cooler during hot summer months. 4) Replacement of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), one of the most widely used white pigment, at 100X less expense and higher solar reflectance. The royalty fee is based on the amount of end-product revenue generated.
