We are pleased to share that our CEO, Edda Aradottir, among Sævar Freyr Þráinsson, CEO of Orkuveitan, is joining the Icelandic presidential delegation on their official state visit to Denmark. 🇮🇸🇩🇰 Edda will participate in a panel discussion on innovation, carbon capture, and carbon mineralization solutions. This visit provides a unique opportunity to strengthen the ties between Iceland and Denmark, particularly in the fields of renewable energy and climate solutions. We fondly remember the visit of Prince Frederik to our Carbfix site at Hellisheiði in 2021, where he explored Carbfix’s innovative carbon capture and storage technology. It was a great honor to host him.

Congratulations to Northern Lights on launching the World’s First Commercial CO₂ Transport and Storage Service! 🙌 Just a few days ago, on September 26th, the Northern Lights JV officially inaugurated its CO₂ receiving facilities in Øygarden, Norway—an achievement that marks a pivotal moment for the global CCS community. This milestone sets a powerful example of how collaboration and commitment can pave the way for innovative solutions to address our shared climate challenges. The launch of these state-of-the-art facilities proves that large-scale CO₂ transport and storage is not just a concept but a reality that can significantly contribute to achieving Europe's climate goals. We at Carbfix are inspired by this development and look forward to contributing further through our own Carbfix Coda Terminal project, which will expand the storage capacity and reach of European CCS efforts. As we reflect on Northern Lights’ success, we are reminded of the vital role that each CCS project plays in creating a robust value chain for CO₂ management—making large-scale decarbonization possible. We are excited about the future and ready to continue advancing CCS with partners across Europe! https://lnkd.in/duumvTXP #CCS #CarbonCapture #CarbonStorage #ClimateAction #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #NorthernLights #Carbfix #CodaTerminal

It was wonderful to be back in Reykjavík for this year's Carbfix Mineralization Summit! I got to meet and chat with some of my climate-tech heroes in person, visit the injection wells I discussed in my Yale graduation thesis, tour the impressive Mammoth DAC plant of Climeworks, and even see the aurora skies! 🌌 In my speech during the summit, I focused on how we can use the CDR toolkit in a socially responsible way through transparent dialogue and deep collaboration with environmental advocacy groups and local communities. The communication piece can make or break any large-scale carbon mineralization project; that's why this is one of the greatest focus areas for every project we are working on at the Carbon Containment Lab. I also talked about the importance of giving climate activists a seat at the decision-making table and intentionally focusing on training the next generation of CDR scientists and policy-makers. Thank you Carbfix, for giving me a seat at the table! #CarbfixSummit24 #CarbonRemoval #CCS #CDR #ClimateAction

Honored to have hosted such a great mind in the CCS field! Grateful for your insights on scaling up carbon mineralization and the importance of community and regulatory engagement. Together, we’re pushing the boundaries of climate solutions. 🌍 #CCS #CarbonMineralisation #ClimateAction

Carbfix is proud to support global sustainability efforts at the WE Empower UN SDG Challenge! 🌍 Join us for a free live-streamed event celebrating women entrepreneurs advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 📅 When: Wednesday, September 25 ⏰ Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (EST) 🏢 Where: DVF Studio | 440 W 14th St. | New York (also available online) Our CEO, Edda Aradóttir, will be presenting alongside other global leaders in sustainability, showcasing the innovative work of Carbfix in tackling climate change. About Carbfix: Carbfix is a leader in CO₂ storage technology, using mineralization in basaltic rock formations. Since 2012, Carbfix has safely stored over 100,000 tons of CO₂ by accelerating a natural process that turns CO₂ into stable carbonate minerals, or "stone." The method is cost-effective, scalable, and backed by over 100 peer-reviewed studies.

We at Carbfix are thrilled to welcome Madalyn Blondes as our new Head of North American Project Development and Stakeholder Relations, leading the charge for Carbfix USA!   With her extensive background as a Supervisory Research Geologist at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Madalyn brings unparalleled expertise in carbon mineralization and sustainable energy-water relationships. She holds a B.A. in Geology from Pomona College and both an M.Phil. and Ph.D. in Geochemistry from Yale University’s Department of Geology & Geophysics, further grounding her in the field. Her leadership will be key in expanding our mineralization efforts in North America, helping us take another step toward advancing carbon capture and storage solutions.   "I am thrilled to be joining the Carbfix team after years of watching its remarkable growth from afar. The opportunity to contribute to such impactful work in carbon mineralization is truly exciting, and I'm eager to help expand this innovative approach into North America. It's an honor to be part of a team that's leading the way in climate action." Madalyn shares.

Feeling very grateful and honoured to have participated in a panel exploring market drivers for mineralisation projects at the Carbfix Mineralisation Summit in Iceland last week. The panel highlighted: 🔹 The need for strong carbon pricing, a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and bespoke support mechanisms. 🔹Regulatory drivers like streamlined permitting and the integration of CO₂ removals into UK & EU Emissions Trading System. 🔹Cross-border CO₂ transport and storage to ensure permanent, high-quality carbon removals. 🔹The importance of EU 2040 climate targets, including separate goals for carbon removals to send clear signals to the industry. Other than that, not only did I get to experience the wonder that is Iceland, but I also had the opportunity to witness first hand the world's largest operational direct air capture plant of Climeworks in action and CO2 being injected into the ground by Carbfix. Such a treat! A big thank you to fellow panellists and to Carbfix for organising an amazing conference. #CarbfixSummit24
