The Core Idea

At its simplest, Vateris converts CO₂ from industrial emissions into high-performance mineral products.

But what makes this different is how we do it.

Our process works directly with raw flue gas CO₂ — removing the need for expensive purification or complex upstream capture systems.

That means:

Lower cost
Simpler integration
Faster deployment at industrial sites

Step 1: Capturing CO₂ as a Resource

We start with CO₂ from industrial sources — such as cement, energy, or waste-to-energy plants.

Instead of treating this CO₂ as waste, we capture and convert it in-process, turning emissions into an input stream for material production.

Step 2: Engineering Vaterite (GypCarb™)

The captured CO₂ reacts with calcium-based feedstocks (such as gypsum) to produce vaterite, a highly reactive form of calcium carbonate.

We engineer this into GypCarb™ — a next-generation mineral additive designed for concrete.

Why vaterite matters:

Higher reactivity than conventional calcium carbonate
Enhances cement hydration
Enables reduction in cement content while maintaining or improving strength

This is where carbon becomes performance-enhancing, not just stored.

Step 3: Integrating into Concrete Production

GypCarb is designed as a drop-in material.

It works within existing concrete manufacturing processes:

No new curing systems
No changes to plant infrastructure
Compatible with ready-mix and precast

This is critical for adoption — because the construction industry doesn’t need disruption for the sake of it.

It needs solutions that work within today’s reality.

Step 4: Co-Producing High-Purity Fertiliser

At the same time, our process produces potassium sulfate (SOP) — a premium fertiliser used in agriculture.

This co-product is:

High purity
Low chloride
Suitable for high-value crops

This creates a dual-value system, where carbon utilisation drives value in both construction and agrichemicals sectors.

Why This Matters

The world needs to decarbonise heavy industry.

But it also needs materials:

Concrete for infrastructure and housing
Fertilisers for food production

Vateris connects these needs.

By turning CO₂ into essential materials, we:

Reduce reliance on carbon-intensive inputs
Lower the footprint of core industries
Create a scalable pathway for carbon utilisation
Designed for Industrial Scale

Our technology is built with scale at its core:

Uses abundant feedstocks
Integrates with existing infrastructure
Produces materials already demanded by global markets

This is not a future concept.

It’s a system designed for deployment at industrial scale.

From CO₂ to Value

Carbon doesn’t have to be a cost.

It can be a competitive advantage.

At Vateris, we are building the platform to make that a reality — transforming emissions into high-performance materials that industries already rely on.

Performance materials. From CO₂. At scale.
