Product description

Carbon Mineralization via Coda Terminal is a cutting-edge solution developed by Carbfix to tackle the pressing issue of carbon emissions from industrial sources. The Coda Terminal, located in Straumsvík, Iceland, serves as a pivotal hub for large-scale CO₂ transport and mineral storage. With funding from the €115 million EU Innovation Fund grant, this innovative facility enables the cross-border export of captured CO₂ from industrial emitters across Northern Europe for permanent underground storage.

Operating on the principle of dissolving incoming CO₂ in water and injecting it into basalt formations, the Coda Terminal leverages geological processes to convert the greenhouse gas into solid carbonate minerals within a remarkably short timeframe of under two years. By mineralizing up to 3 million tonnes of CO₂ annually upon full buildout by 2031, this solution significantly contributes to reducing carbon emissions on an industrial scale.

The key innovation lies in the integration of renewable energy sources to power the mineralization process, ensuring environmental sustainability and aligning with global climate targets. The Coda Terminal offers a comprehensive turnkey service, from the receipt of CO₂ to its secure and verifiable permanent storage. Designed for modular expansion and replicability, this facility provides an internationally scalable infrastructure for carbon removal, enabling industries to deploy large-scale CO₂ storage solutions effectively.

About the Company

Carbfix is an Icelandic pioneer in carbon capture and mineral storage, founded in 2007 as a collaboration between Reykjavík Energy, the University of Iceland, CNRS, and Columbia University. The company offers a groundbreaking solution that permanently converts CO₂ (and H₂S) into solid carbonate minerals underground within two years. Its approach uses water to dissolve CO₂ before injecting it into basaltic formations, where it reacts with rock to form stable minerals. Carbfix has operational injection sites at Hellisheiði and Nesjavellir geothermal plants and leads the world’s first commercial capture-and-storage plant (Orca/Mammoth). With EU-funded projects like Silverstone and the upcoming Coda Terminal—designed to mineralize up to 3 million tonnes of CO₂ annually—Carbfix is scaling globally. Its technology supports net-zero pathways by providing low-cost, permanent CO₂ disposal and is being tested internationally. Awarded Icelandic Innovation Award 2024 and recognized by TIME100 and WIPO, Carbfix exemplifies environmentally committed innovation through scalable carbon removal and storage solutions.
