Summary

Vaulted deploys slurry injection technology to geologically sequester organic wastes for the purpose of permanent carbon removal. Vaulted owns and operates a built and permitted injection well site in Hutchinson, Kansas. This site hosts a network of 60 salt caverns, with the total capacity to hold 2-3 million metric tons of organic waste and room to expand beyond that. Vaulted secures a range of organic wastes (including biosolids, livestock and agricultural waste, paper sludge, and others) through sustainable sourcing practices from the surrounding area. Vaulted then minimally processes the waste on-site and geologically injects them, permanently (10,000+ years) sequestering the carbon.

How carbon is being removed

Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) involves storing the carbon contained in waste biomass—organic material from living or recently living organisms. BiCRS works by halting or slowing the decomposition of biomass, enabling the carbon it contains to be stored long-term. This can be achieved by converting biomass into materials that decompose more slowly—such as biochar or bio-oil—or by storing it in environments where decomposition is slowed. For BiCRS to count as carbon removal, the biomass must be replenished to ensure additional carbon dioxide is drawn from the atmosphere.
