In this episode of This Is CDR Toby and Megha welcome Carbon To Stone Founder Dr. Greeshma Gadikota of Cornell Engineering who will present the startup's novel DAC approach that replaces conventional solvent regeneration using heat or pressure changes with direct mineralization of low-cost alkaline wastes such as steel slag, significantly reducing the energy, and thus the cost, required. The captured CO₂ is durably stored as solid carbonate materials that can be used for building materials and other industrial purposes.
