Life Cycle Assessment and Value-Chain Development for Carbon Fixation by Bivalve Shells

Overview

Bivalves such as scallops and oysters fix calcium and bicarbonate ions as calcium carbonate through biomineralization, while also releasing protons. Based on academic evidence, we accurately assess carbon fixation by bivalve shells and build a value chain that promotes shells as carbon-fixing materials.

Technology strengths

The solution combines evidence-based life cycle assessment with patented technology to maximize carbon fixation.
