As the world continues to grapple with the consequences of climate change, it is more important than ever to find ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The result of failing to achieve this by 2023 will have an adverse impact on the climate. Our global average temperature will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This may not seem like a significant increase, but it could have far-reaching and devastating effects on our planet.
One small business taking on this challenge is Carbonized, a veteran-owned company based in Colorado. Founded by Eric Phillips and Karina Taugwalder, Carbonized is transforming the landscape of the magnesium carbonate industry through its innovative process of direct air carbon capture utilization and storage (DACCUS).
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), warming above 1.5 degrees Celsius could lead to more frequent and severe heat waves, more intense hurricanes and other extreme weather events, and a significant rise in sea levels. This could cause widespread flooding and erosion and threaten the survival of many species that are already struggling to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
On the other hand, the magnesium carbonate industry is projected to reach $11.39 billion by 2025, with most of the magnesia being imported from countries that use unsustainable mining methods, leading to significant waste and environmental contamination. Carbonized offers a sustainable alternative by synthesizing magnesium carbonate in an environmentally friendly manner while also capturing and bonding carbon dioxide to create a carbon-negative product, CragLev.
Not only is CragLev environmentally friendly, but it is also flexible, able to be sold in bulk or refined into a premium product. It is competitively priced and made using an American labor force, making it a viable option for industrial and athletic applications, such as rock climbing.
In addition to its environmental benefits, CragLev is also a socially responsible choice. As a veteran-owned small business, Carbonized is committed to supporting the American economy and providing employment opportunities for American workers. By supporting Carbonized in the production of CragLev, you can do your part in reducing carbon dioxide emissions and helping a company that values sustainability and social responsibility.
The Carbonized owners are proud of their patented process and the positive impact it can have on the environment and the community. They are looking for serious investors to join the fight against climate change by choosing Carbonized for magnesium carbonate needs. Their goal is to start mass production of CragLev in the near future.
As responsible members of a global community, we must take action now to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and prevent global temperatures from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius. By doing so, we can protect our planet and its inhabitants from the worst effects of climate change.
