Capturing Carbon With Light
About us
Banyu Carbon is developing a light-driven approach to carbon capture that promises to be cheaper and require less energy than competing technologies. Decarbonizing the global economy is the Apollo Moon Shot of this century. Every serious plan to keep global temperatures below dangerous limits requires carbon removal at the scale of billions of tons of CO2 per year. But a giant gap exists between this pressing need and existing carbon removal capabilities that are costly, energy intensive, and have a capacity 10,000x too small. Unlike nature-based approaches to carbon capture, Banyu Carbon is developing a process that produces a pure stream of CO2 for easily verified carbon credits to companies and governments. The Banyu Carbon process uses the surface ocean as a vast collector for atmospheric CO2 and then removes the accumulated carbon through energy efficient photochemical reactions. Seawater naturally concentrates CO2 from the atmosphere. Removing this carbon from the surface ocean withdraws a commensurate amount of CO2 from the air because of rapid equilibration. Because the atmosphere rapidly mixes carbon emissions from across the globe and then the oceans readily absorb this extra carbon, the Banyu Carbon process would reduce atmospheric CO2 no matter where the emissions occurred. Banyu Carbon seeks to be a leader in a carbon capture market expected to grow to $100 billion by 2030.

Banyu Carbon is thrilled to be featured by Bloomberg News in a piece by environmental journalist Todd Woody that describes our light-driven approach to remove carbon from seawater. We’re grateful for the amazing investors in our $6.5 M seed funding round – ReGen Ventures, The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, Carbon Removal Partners, Propeller, United Airlines Ventures-Sustainable Flight Fund), and to Frontier (Stripe, Shopify, H&M) for their pre-purchase of our 1st 360 tons of carbon removal as we scale from lab to pilot. Join us! We’re hiring! Apply here: https://lnkd.in/dr4K7pR9 https://lnkd.in/dug82DAE

Co-founders Alex & Julian discuss Banyu Carbon's approach to carbon removal on the Carbon Removal Newsroom podcast. Thanks to Radhika and the CRN staff at Nori for a fun discussion!
Solving problems in paradise 🏝 An island once belonging to Marlon Brando might not be the first place you think of for climate solutions. But for the founders of Banyu Carbon, it was the unlikely birthplace of the idea for their novel carbon removal technology. Tune in to Carbon Removal Newsroom to hear from Alexander Gagnon and Julian Sachs as they share their inspiring journey - from academic research to tackling climate change at scale. Learn about the science behind their approach, its potential to be transformative, and why it's generating so much buzz lately. Plus, don't miss their valuable advice for aspiring science entrepreneurs! Listen here 🎧 https://lnkd.in/gJmKPgC8

Banyu Carbon is proud to be joining the Carbon Business Council, a nonprofit trade association of innovators working to restore the climate. By working together we can make gigaton-scale carbon removal a reality.
The Carbon Business Council is delighted to introduce our newest members: Arbon, Banyu Carbon, Equatic.tech, and Offstream. We're also excited to announce our new observers: The Pembina Institute and Rethinking Removals and allies: The Antenna Group, Climate Social, and Skylight Law. We look forward to upcoming collaborations as we #RestoreTheEarth. 🌎 🔬 Arbon is removing carbon dioxide using humidity swing: a revolutionizing technology without the need of heat. ⚡ Banyu Carbon is developing a light-driven approach to carbon capture that promises to be cheaper and require less energy than competing technologies. 🌊 Equatic's seawater electrolysis couples carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere with the generation of green hydrogen at the lowest costs. 📝 Offstream simplifies certifications and compliance for carbon removal companies globally. Please join us in welcoming them! #CarbonRemoval #CarbonDioxideRemoval #ClimateTech
