Use Cases

Industrial operators often choose between overpriced, slow capture builds or accepting emissions as an unavoidable cost. We help you evaluate the options you actually have—using current 45Q rules and real plant data—and, when it makes sense, implement with modular Carbon to Crystals to turn CO₂ into $85/ton tax credits and $400–$850/ton CaCO₃ product revenue.

Dual-Revenue Carbon Capture Across Industries

Every gas-powered facility faces the same bottleneck: traditional CCS costs $7.8M-$15M upfront and takes 18-36 months from FEED to commissioning. Our modular Carbon to Crystals units go from order to commissioning in 5-12 months and produce two revenue streams — federal tax credits and sellable CaCO₃ mineral — versus 18-36 months and a single credit for traditional CCS. The result: a 9.4× to 20× higher 10-year return than single-revenue capture paths.

Data Centers & Hyperscalers

97 GW of new gas-powered data center builds. 2033 45Q construction deadline. $314M 10-year base case per 25 MW facility.

Power Generation

Gas-fired generators and combined cycle plants. $85/ton 45Q credits + $400-850/ton CaCO₃ via modular mineralization in 5-12 months.

Cement & Heavy Industry

10-15% CO₂ kiln flue gas. Free CKD calcium feedstock. 98% pure CaCO₃ for closed-loop concrete applications.

Oil & Gas

Upstream and midstream emissions monetization. Waste brine as NaOH feedstock. Skidded modules for remote sites.

Why Carbon to Crystals Changes the Economics

1

5-12 Month Deployment

Modular, truck-deployable units install in weeks. Traditional CCS requires 18-36 months of engineering and permitting

2

Dual Revenue, Not Single Credit

$85/ton 45Q federal credit plus $400-850/ton CaCO₃ product sales — 9.4× to 20× higher 10-year return than 45Q-only

3

Meets the 2033 45Q Deadline

Parallel site prep and pre-validated MRV workflows compress traditional 3-year planning cycles into 5–12 months of real-world deployment.

4

Third-Party Lab-Validated Product Quality

98% CaCO₃ purity, 97.1% brightness, 4.0 µm particle size — premium PCC specs for paper, paints, plastics, and pharma
