Cheyenne Moreau's Company Details
Project Vesta's vision is to help reverse climate change by turning a trillion tonnes of CO2 into rock. We will do this by harnessing the power of wave energy to accelerate the natural process of rock weathering, which has captured CO2 on earth for billions of years. We accelerate this natural process by extracting the volcanic mineral olivine, grinding it into sand, and transporting it to coastlines. There, wave energy causes the olivine particles to collide, grinding each other up and dramatically accelerating the weathering process. Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere as the olivine breaks down. Project Vesta is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to advance the science of coastal enhanced weathering to galvanize global deployment. This means carrying out the necessary research and creating the protocols and tools needed to establish it as a mature methodology for permanent, cheap, and scalable carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
