Carbon Management
Tailings storage CO2
THE SOLUTION
Arca is one of the first companies commercializing mineralization for the capture and permanent storage of atmospheric CO₂. Using rovers, surface manipulation technology and machine learning algorithms, Arca manipulates mine tailings to significantly speed up the rate of carbon mineralization and measure critical carbon capture.
Funding from CICE is supporting a large-scale pilot project for air-to-rock carbon mineralization using the mine tailings in BHP’s Mt Keith Nickel West Mine in Australia.

“This first-of-a-kind project will be closely watched by the mining industry and by the emerging CDR industry. The CICE partnership has been fundamentally important, enabling Arca to establish and operate the demonstration project over the first year. This has de-risked the project for our mining partner, and will enable us to deliver the highest-quality carbon dioxide removals to our purchase partners on schedule. Based on these results, mining companies in Canada and around the world will know how to partner with Arca to use their tailings in the fight against climate change. We expect Arca’s pathway to scaling this CDR technology to be well-established, thanks to CICE”.
