## CREW Carbon Secures Funding to Scale Carbon Removal from Wastewater
In a significant step towards achieving global climate targets, CREW Carbon has secured funding to expand its innovative approach to removing carbon dioxide from wastewater. Led by Counteract, the investment will enable CREW to deploy its technology at more wastewater treatment facilities, ultimately scaling operations to remove thousands of tons of CO2 annually.
CREW’s technology leverages the natural power of minerals to treat wastewater and permanently store CO2. This enhanced weathering approach offers a cost-effective and scalable solution for carbon removal, particularly from biogenic CO2 produced in wastewater treatment facilities. The company has already demonstrated success with multiple pilot projects, proving its technology’s effectiveness in reducing costs and improving the overall efficiency of wastewater treatment.
The company’s mission aligns with the urgent need to remove gigatons of CO2 from the atmosphere by 2050 to mitigate the impacts of climate change. CREW’s technology has garnered strong interest from investors due to its potential for significant carbon removal, cost-efficiency, and the utilization of existing infrastructure. This approach not only addresses climate change but also improves the sustainability of wastewater treatment operations.
A Winning Solution for Multiple Stakeholders
CREW’s solution benefits multiple stakeholders, including municipalities, wastewater treatment operators, and the environment. By partnering with existing wastewater treatment plants, CREW leverages existing infrastructure to minimize deployment costs and maximize impact. The technology also delivers tangible improvements to wastewater treatment processes, making it a win-win for all involved.
Paradigm Shift in Wastewater Treatment
Chris Morrison, Executive in Residence at ImagineH2O and former Division Vice President of Water Process Services at Ecolab/Nalco, highlights the transformative nature of CREW’s technology: “CREW’s solution is an easy sell to partners in the wastewater sector. The technology is sound, safe, and truly a first-of-its-kind solution that transforms wastewater treatment plants into climate hubs. It’s a paradigm shift for the industry.”
CREW’s Vision for a Sustainable Future
CREW Carbon’s commitment to scaling its technology aligns with the global need to address climate change. By removing CO2 from wastewater, CREW contributes to a cleaner and more sustainable future, demonstrating the potential of innovative technologies to create positive environmental and economic impact.
